How is it possible that the King doesn't put himself in check when making this move?

I just watched the video and I think I see the move that confused you... I think they were just moving him around for demonstration purposes while they were talking about what you have to do when a king is in check. It looks like for a second they move the king forward onto a rank controlled by two rooks, and then they move him back - maybe just to kindof be like "He wishes he could go here but he clearly can't".

I'm happy to see that you're watching chess videos Kathryn! And that you're watching them as closely as you are! Keep up the good work.

Triple fork!
