In the
following position:
1. White King
h5
2. White Rook h6
3. Black Pawn h7
4. Black King h8
Can the white
King move to g6 square? The white King can be attacked by
the black Pawn but in doing so, the black Pawn exposes his
King to check by the White Rook.
Thanks.

Dear viewer,
White cannot move to g6 because his King
would be on check. Chess rules do not allow a King to place
himself into a check position.
The graphic below illustrates this
position:
Even that the black Pawn on h7 is pinned by the white Rook, the
white King is not allowed to move into g6.
