It sounds to me like you are trying to mix the position information with the graphics representation. That sounds like a design problem to me. I would separate them and then your problem should be trivial.

For example, keep a list of pieces and positions. With that you can easily determine where they are and where they can move. As part of the class representing the pieces, keep an image to represent it, so you can change images if you like and display the nearly automatically.

Does your program places the King somewhere in the picture box and then forgets it?
You are joking Mr. arashmobileboy. :-D

Ok,

we've told you before, that the solution with the pictureboxes is not the best one (it really is the worst I can think of). You definitely should draw the rectangles on your own directly on the form without PictureBoxes.

For your question with the king piece, I would advice you to write a class structure where the king is a derived class of a class e.g. ChessFigure. You can then use an array e.g. ChessFigure[8,8] that represents your chess board. You can then check for each array field if a (and which) figure is placed on the field.

Try it this way. What you try doesn't seem right.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Good luck!
