this is for most cases, is to see whether there is another check in where you will move thing king, if no, then move it there, but try making it in a good place that doesn’t block pieces for example, if it does that, then try finding another place, and in case there was no place to move the king with no check, then go to the place where the king can’t be forked with another piece or there is no tactic there, it doesnt really matter if you didn’t understand me, since i think your level doesnt need to understand those thing

The second game involves Steinitz performing a king march.

During the opening, whenever the King is in check and there are no pieces that I can use to block the king from being placed in check, taking into considering that are multiple free squares that I can move the king to, which square should I place my king on when getting out of check?
During the opening this scenario is incredibly rare. Probably less than 1 game in 100.
If it does happen you are almost certainly in big trouble. Next game try to avoid this by castling to safety.

Do you know of any openings or well known games that feature this scenario?
Actually, I know one, What about none other than Magnus Carlsen?

There is a sideline of the King's gambit that comes to mind:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Gambit#Bishop's_Gambit:_3.Bc4
It is extremely rare nowadays, the last super-GM who played it somewhat regularly was Judit Polgar.

There are multiple lines within the Bishop's Gambit, which line is it within the Bishop's Gambit that features this scenario?
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Bc4 Qh4+ 4. Kf1
I am asking a question in relation to king placement within the opening.
I am concerned about these types of scenarios; During the opening, whenever the King is in check and there are no pieces that I can use to block the king from being placed in check, taking into considering that are multiple free squares that I can move the king to, which square should I place my king on when getting out of check? Strategically, tactically, dynamically and positionally speaking, which squares would be the best to place my king on when moving my king out of check? I would also like to take king safety into consideration too, thanks.
