Description

For a chess player, chess pieces are like special tools in a toolbox. We need to know how best to use them, just as a craftsman knows his tools. We shouldn’t use a screwdriver to hammer in a nail; and we shouldn’t write off the king as a vulnerable creature in need of constant care and protection. Because in this video course, kings will play a different role: a role of strong and active pieces.

We will explore how Kings can be helpful in defence and prophylaxis, or even in attack! We will see that they can often take care of themselves, for example by moving from one flank to another. We will also answer the eternal question in many positions: Where should the king be castled?
