Centralizing your king during the opening is the best way to attack your opponent.

Centralizing your king as quickly as possible is the best way to create weaknesses in your opponent's position, allowing you to execute a deadly attack.

This is the key position. The white king is so powerful in the center of the board that black's pieces will scurry about and overextend themselves, creating weaknesses in black's position.

I don't believe that an early king-rush is the key to a successful attack, unfortunately my own king does. Often, when I play, my careful plans and tactics are reduced to shambles, when my own king, enraged by what he perceives as a dishonorable opening by his opponent, goes berserk, and consumed by blood-lust, charges out onto the f-lie and toward the enemy monarch. Not waiting for the rest of the army and without a shred of self-control, he is last seen charging into the enemy ranks, alone, above the din of battle snippets of his final war cry can be heard---" a ha, have at you!"---"Cur!"---"foul knave!". Then, he is gone, passing into legend beneath the enemy shield wall.

This is the best way in a world where everyone gets dizzy.

Politicize it with Centrist Kings. Their affiliation will always be the e/d-file and the 4th/5th rank .

Oh really? Is that why the black king got checkmated in the end?

Works perfectly well for me at the 1700 level in lichess. That's equivalent to around 1300-1400 on chess.com.

I agree too. The king is like Shivaji, he leads the army.

Exactly. A brave king charges ahead, leading his forces by example. A cowardly king tucks himself away in the corner (castling) while watching his army burn.

Very nice game! I really liked how you continued to develop your king all the way to the other side of the board. You can see how powerfully the king confused white's pieces, causing them to desperately bumble about and end up being captured.
