So the king moves

But now it is time to finally deal with the chess pieces. First you get to know the most important figure: the king. You have to take good care of him in the game of chess. Because - as you already know - if he is checkmated, you have lost the game.

The king can move to any neighboring square. Straight ahead and diagonally, to the right and left, forwards and backwards. In the same way he hits a stone from his opponent. However, the king may not enter a square that is threatened by an opponent's stone. In addition, he may not move to any space occupied by his own stone. But of course that applies to every figure. There is also castling .

Castling

Small and large castling

Watch out: now comes castling, the double move of king and rook. It serves the rapid development and the protection of the king in the "opening". But you always have to move the king first, otherwise your opponent can demand that you only move the rook!
