>Q. What happens if I try to make a move, but my opponent plays a card (BOG) 
>that results in an illegal final position (i.e., my King in check)?

>A. No regular card may cause either player to place or leave his own King 
>in check at the end of his own turn. If a played card breaks this rule, it 
>has no effect. It is still considered played; the player must discard it 
>and draw a new card. (Consider this an extension of the Checkmate Rule.)

>On my turn (the fourth (my second move) into a new game) I played Black

>My thinking is that my opponent has to deal with his check first, and then
>on my move I deal with mine.

>My opponent says I can't leave my King in Check (Checkmate, actually) at 
>the
>end of my turn.
>For some reason, this entry in the on-line FAQ just doesn't seem clear to
>me:
>
>Q. On the first turn, White plays PLOTS WITHIN PLOTS, then BLACK WIDOW
>(which places both Kings in check). Does this violate the Checkmate Rule?
>The Black King can simply capture the White Queen on Black's turn so the
>card doesn't cause checkmate.
>
>A. Anything that doesn't cause checkmate cannot violate the Checkmate Rule.
>It would violate the Check Move rule, unless the second card with PLOTS
>WITHIN PLOTS is played so White does not end his turn in check.
>
>Looking forward to a definitive response to clear my muddled brain!
