The King Chess Move
“The King is the most important chess piece.”
“If you CHECKMATE your opponent’s King, you WIN!!”
“If your King is checkmated, you lose!“
“In a checkmate, the King is not captured. Instead, you win if you could capture your opponent’s King on your next move and there is no move your opponent can make to prevent that from happening.“
“After seeing how the other pieces move, you will return to the subject of checkmate.“
“First, look at how the King moves.”
“The King can move one square in any direction.
The King does have one special move however, and it is allowed just once during the game. It is called ‘Castling ‘
“Important Rule #1: You may never move one of your pieces (even the King) to a square occupied by another of your pieces.“
“Important Rule #2: If an OPPOSING piece occupies a square to which you can move, you can CAPTURE the opposing piece by moving to that square, and removing your opponent’s piece from the board.“
“Although the King is the most important piece, it is also one of the weakest, because it can’t move very far in a single turn.“
“To win the game, the King must rely on the rest of his army.”
