If they knew even a cursory understanding of the rules of chess (they don't even have to be good at winning the game - just know the rules as well as your average grade-schooler) they could easily figure out that because of the rules of saying "check" and of it being illegal to place one's self in check, a king can't take another king in chess without being preceded by an illegal move the turn before.
