Hello guys ! From today I am starting a new chapter in which I will be teaching how to improve in variants !
So , our first variant is King Of The Hill .King Of The Hill , also known as KOTH , is a very famous variant in chess.com.It is also one of the easiest variant to play and win.It is also one of my favourite variants.To win , we have to make our king reach to the center four squares or checkmate the opponent.

How to improve :
To win most of the games , we must first capture the centre ( very important ) and play the pawn in front of he king ( very important ).I will show you some of my games below so that you can see how to play nicely.
Here is an example -



Then you should move ur pawn in front of the queen 2 squares , But this is completely optional.You can straight away rush your king to the center.
Then you should try to move both your knights to capture the centre .After that , do how many sacrifices you want but you knights should not be dead because both the noght have a very good support from back and cover all middle four squares when placed nicely.Then , you just have to make some simple sacrifices to win the game  !

Here are some of my games :
