Make your enemy king weaker and meanwhile get yours stronger as a lethal power buster tool. A balant attempt? Next to impossible?

Share with you what I've learned from other chessing players. For those who read the post are my friends that deserves such good news. Let's practice a bit. If this can get through to us, we surely are able to parry a variety of checks and checkmates.

Actually i haven't made this happen. This killer king snapshot is the very success of others the Grand Masters record on the Chess.com website. I'm curious of how it happened so that i rendered a question for Quest.  As follows are what I've recently found and i gladly share with you my friends.

I think the more I play I’ve figured out that the king should be used as another offensive piece instead of being tucked away. Of course it also has to be protected and always have an escape out of a check-mate. But if you have the advantage and the opponent is at a disadvantage, think of the king as another offensive weapon.

As we know, we can't check the opponent with a king, so here is the trick.

Discovered Attack. 

Attacking with the king happens mainly when we plan to checkmate with a single queen or a rook. I mean like the position blow here attached with the 1st snapshot. Instead of utilizing powerful rooks, i prefer the power buster Queen for delivering a checkmate. 

Since we play White and we can easily win by playing Kc7, delivering a checkmate by king playing the last move. With discovered attacks we can also win MATERIAL. (Take a look at 2nd attached screenshot.)

Meanwhile, it happens when the king is blocking a check.  Move the king and deliver a check as the last move so as to make your King the legend, a Killer King.

Also, it works much better than discovered attack with your king is to make more efforts on working out a variety of designed puzzles, signing up in more puzzle battles and puzzle hot streaks. With such intensely powerful training, let's make it happen more easily to develop your king attacking the Center, even the rims both sidelines under cover with your solid pawn structure and long distanced controlling power of bishop pairs and knights.

First thing first, get your king much more extraordinarily agile than ever no matter what and by all means.


i hope it might somehow be helpful for your reference. Pls let me learn more on this issue if you've got more advanced study on making the king a killer king.

I just posted what I've studied on Killer King strategic attack @Chess.com Web-posts. Particularly I give all my thanks to my chessing friends, Ilia Ghasemi, a.k.a. IGhasemi who lives in Tehran, Iran and El Tigre Del Norte from United States, and KunalKshyp from India. This Killer King post is in acknowledgement of their parts in its creation.

Without their feedback and contribution, I know nothing about chessing with the king.

For further information on the lethal killer King, co-author Ilia Ghasemi (IGhasemi) shares with us the link regarding how it definitely works. Kudos on his brilliant showcase with decent moves! Go hit the link posted on the comments pool down below associated to this article.
