Can pawn kill a king?

Pawns can kill kings. That’s true that pieces never capture the king in chess. However if we removed that rule and allowed the king to make a move where it could be captured on the next turn, then if your brother moved there, the pawn would take the king.

Can you go straight to checkmate?

Checkmate can be directly delivered by any piece on the board except for the opposing King. Checkmates are rare in games between advanced players because many players respectfully resign before forcing the opponent to play until the King is checkmated.

Can King kill without check?

The king can kill a checkmate threat as long as he doesn’t move into threat (as long as there isn’t any piece defending the piece the king attacks).
