I found this written on Ed Friedlander's Alice Chess page: "Erik Maranus pointed out to me (3/19/06) that a piece can interpose to save a king in check by moving from the other board. I had originally misinterpreted this as illegal because the move would not by itself be legal on the other board. However, examining the model game in "Pritchard" satisfied me that he is correct."

I have both of Pritchard's books. So I will look into this later.
