Hi there.

00:02.630 --> 00:09.290
And it's actually we're going to introduce the king, so say your king is here, you can actually move

00:09.290 --> 00:16.450
it like a queen, but just one square so you can go in all of these directions, but just one square.

00:17.030 --> 00:18.680
So the king becomes very important.

00:18.680 --> 00:25.100
Ashton and games in general earlier on in the game, you've got to be very, very cautious because the

00:25.100 --> 00:30.590
objective of chess is to kind of capture the opponent's king, to make the opponent's king.

00:31.070 --> 00:32.690
And you don't want your king checkmated.

00:32.690 --> 00:35.080
So usually it comes out later and games.

00:35.450 --> 00:36.970
So it goes in all directions.

00:37.400 --> 00:39.440
So this is the first example I want to show you.

00:39.440 --> 00:45.710
Those are the legal moves with the red arrows and the legal moves of the opponent.

00:45.710 --> 00:48.500
Is King in the corner are these moves.

00:50.090 --> 00:54.500
So say here, here, this got this game position.

00:54.500 --> 00:57.950
Technically, by the way, the draw when it's just king was king is a draw.

00:59.180 --> 01:00.080
No one can win.

01:00.080 --> 01:01.070
It's impossible to win.

01:01.070 --> 01:06.470
So if you ever get this situation, you should really offer a draw to the opponents and they should

01:06.470 --> 01:08.540
accept or you can actually just claim a draw.

01:09.290 --> 01:19.450
So, yeah, this is a draw, but I'm just showing you how the king moves and yeah, we move in all directions.

01:19.450 --> 01:25.130
So it's a lot of fun, especially in games, how the king can go in any direction.

01:25.130 --> 01:27.050
A bit like a slow queen.

01:27.710 --> 01:34.910
OK, but let's have a look at how the king captures in other lecture's following.

01:35.060 --> 01:39.410
So bear with me and I hope you got the basic point in this one.

01:40.400 --> 01:42.860
But the king and it goes in all directions.

01:43.310 --> 01:51.140
So just to check that out again, all of these moves are possible if we're playing with working and

01:51.260 --> 01:55.880
these moves, the planking, OK, that's how much.
