Point of clarification: In Switching Chess I can understand the original rules, in which a King can switch to get out of check. But is a piece pinned to the King allowed to switch with another piece while pinned? I was under the impression that a pinned piece could not switch as that particular switching exposed the King briefly to check (illegal). My last few moves in a game were based on a pinning piece not being allowed to switch... but it did.
