    That’s only true because Kings can’t move into check. This is an unnecessary rule that, like stalemate, makes little difference to high level players, but is a bad rule for low level players.

        You’d call most people who play chess “absolute beginners”. Most people would hang their king if they could and would never remember the stalemate rule until it was too late.
