    "check" has three rules

    1) block check

    2) remove attacking piece

    3) move king

    the king CAN capture the attacking piece (if its unprotected)

    I'm not sure of the question you are asking.

    If the question is... When can a king that is in check capture a piece?

    As long as it is a legal move and capturing the piece doesn't move him into check.

    If the question is... When can a king caputer a piece that will leave him in check?

    He can't.
