Body: <p>Imagine a situation where our queen, opponent's bishop and opponent's king are in same vertical line such that if bishop was not there, there would be a check.
  Now the opponent, somehow unnoticeably removes the bishop from the line which straight leads to our victory.
  .
  .
  So is this a fouls and should be reversed or a rule or something??
  Answer please,!!!</p>
