When your king reaches the other side if the board what happenends? Do you
get another piece just like when a pawn reaches the other side.

I think there are two possiblities.
1)Your program has bug.
2)The queen you are going to take is protected. King cannot take a
protected piece, of course. I am sure king can take queen.

My question is can a king capture the queen when the queen puts the king
in check? What if that's the only way out of check? 
 I was playing my computer and the king took my queen when she put my
king
in check. My computer or the game I downloaded wouldn't let my king do
the
same thing. It might not have been the only way out of check that time.

In standard chess, it is indeed possible to capture the piece that is checking. Escape by fleeing is not the only option. Interposition of another piece is a third option in some cases, but not when attacked by a knight, the only jumping piece.

I recommend this excellent beginner's book for a review of some of the different ways one can check and extricate oneself from check.

An aside: There is a chess variant called Wuss featuring a piece that always must flee - can only flee - when attacked. You might try it out some time. It is very interesting.

In reply to this question: 
Can a king moved to square that is attacked by a pinned piece?
Answer: No.

In further response to the example given, i.e: White has a knight pinned
by a bishop ... [is] black allowed to move [his King] to a square attacked by the
knight?
Answer: No. A king cannot move into check, even if the checking piece is
pinned.  An easy way to see why this makes sense is this:  If that King
could expose itself to check, then so could the other King.  And if that
were the case White could simply play N x K.

In case no one has pointed this out already, in the following example:

Can a king moved to square that is attacked by a pinned piece?

On the chessboard, there is the following situation. One player, say
white, has a knight, that is `pinned' by a bishop of the opponent, i.e.,
the knight is between the black bishop and the white king, so if the
knight would move, then the king is checked. Is in this situation black
allowed to move to a square attacked by the knight?

The piece on A6 is a rook (or castle) vice bishop as stated. Other than
that, I found this site quite informative and helpful.

Help!  Our chess club has a crystal set and we want to know which is white
and which is black.  One side is frosted, the other plain glass.  Thank
you

oops my mistake, i thought black bishop was on f3, sorry.
oh well, that position is a total draw.

the unusual question by doug was 'how can i check the white king' he he,
which is unusual because the goal of chess is checkmate, not checking the
king. check's mean nothing really if the king being checked can easily
move out of the way or block the check.
still, asking how can i check the white king, indicates that black has the
move, he he, and if this is so, black can check straight away, playing
bishop takes bishop, check, and this move also wins on the spot.
a very interesting chess problem despite it's easiness lol :)
