In today's blog we are going to discuss the legendary king walk game by Nigel Short. This is the first blog of our new "King is also a piece" blog series, where we will be discussing wonderful and amazing king moves played by the humans in the history of chess!

Let's get into the game quickly

Summary:

• Rapid development of the pieces is important.
• Centralizing our pieces gives us control over the game.
• Rooks on open files, on seventh rank, doubled rooks, rook lifts are all very important concepts to think during an attack.
• The h2-h4, h4-h5 pawn wedge is a standard plan against the g6 fianchetto.
• And... don't forget " King is also a piece ".
