Cannon Movement[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

In the picture above the black cannon at f12 is putting the white king in check.  Is that correct for a standard cannon movement? If no, I have to fix some code.  I went to piece-o-pedia and the cannon must jump a screen for the attack.  Am I correct with the following statements:

1) the white king is not in check

2) the black cannon at f12 can not attack anything due to a mess of black pieces in front of it.

3) the white cannon at g1 can take cannon g12

===

I think I am correct, but I want to check with my fellow chess players to confirm that I understand the cannon capture move.

Those three statements are all true.  The cannon must jump over exactly one piece (of either color) in order to capture.
