Hi there.
And it's actually we're going to introduce the king, so say your king is here, you can actually move
it like a queen, but just one square so you can go in all of these directions, but just one square.
So the king becomes very important.
Ashton and games in general earlier on in the game, you've got to be very, very cautious because the
objective of chess is to kind of capture the opponent's king, to make the opponent's king.
And you don't want your king checkmated.
So usually it comes out later and games.
So it goes in all directions.
So this is the first example I want to show you.
Those are the legal moves with the red arrows and the legal moves of the opponent.
Is King in the corner are these moves.
So say here, here, this got this game position.
Technically, by the way, the draw when it's just king was king is a draw.
No one can win.
It's impossible to win.
So if you ever get this situation, you should really offer a draw to the opponents and they should
accept or you can actually just claim a draw.
So, yeah, this is a draw, but I'm just showing you how the king moves and yeah, we move in all directions.
So it's a lot of fun, especially in games, how the king can go in any direction.
A bit like a slow queen.
OK, but let's have a look at how the king captures in other lecture's following.
So bear with me and I hope you got the basic point in this one.
But the king and it goes in all directions.
So just to check that out again, all of these moves are possible if we're playing with working and
these moves, the planking, OK, that's how much.
