I help with our school chess club and there are always questions that come up during a game. The one question that I have, if a King is able to cross the board, to the oponents side can that player add a pawn? Then, if he cross back to his side can he add another pawn?

Its a question to all. What happens when the white pawn reaches the starting place of the black king. in India we have the rule of bringing the respective player back on the board. As the white king is already on the board, which one is brought back.

I recently had an arguement with my father-in-law about the en passant
rule.  He believes that it applies to any piece a pawn can two step to.

He also believes you can use your king to check your opponets king as
long
as it is backed by another piece.  I know these are both false, but he
needs to see it in writing from someone other than myself!!!

Try reading this page on the 50-moves rule: http://www.chessvariants.org/d.chess/50moves.html.

Editors: Maybe there should be a link in the 50-moves paragraph of this Rules of Chess page to the 50-moves FAQ page.

Yes, King can take any piece adjecent to it if he is not being checked after taking the piece.

Chess has long been considered the sport of kings and aristocrats. It has
only been recently that chess has become popular among all levels of
society. And no wonder. Chess is great exercise. No, there are no head
smashing, helmet scarring football tackles or exotic tumbles on a
gymnastic mat. Rather the players exercise their minds.

Can a king capture a piece of the opponent by moving backwards?

Jeremy Good wrote on Wed, Jun 21, 2006 06:43 AM UTC:
Yes, the king can capture moving backwards, as long as it doesn't put itself in check by doing so.

if a pawn mooves to the oponets side of the bourd, can you substatute that pawn for a piece your oponet took during the game?

Joe Joyce wrote on Tue, Jul 11, 2006 08:14 PM UTC:
To answer your question [copied from the page Rules of Chess]:

Pawns that reach the last row of the board promote. When a player moves a
pawn to the last row of the board, he replaces the pawn by a queen, rook,
knight, or bishop (of the same color). Usually, players will promote the
pawn to a queen, but the other types of pieces are also allowed. (It is
not required that the pawn is promoted to a piece taken. Thus, it is for
instance possible that a player has at a certain moment two queens.)

The information is there under the section on pawns. 

So, you may promote a pawn to a lost piece, but it is not required that
there be a lost piece available to promote a pawn.

Can a player move their king into check? For example: let o represent a
white pawn, let O represent a black pawn, let t represent a white king,
and let T represent a black king.

Is this possible?

The following is copied from the Rules of Chess page. It is found in the Moves section, under King.

The king is the most important piece of the game, and moves must be made in such a way that the king is never in check.

So, no. A king in [standard] chess may never move into check.
