Killer King is undoubtedly the most difficult...basically one would have to reach an arranged position on agreement with an opponent to achieve this Award...the only time I've ever heard of it occurring naturally was the famous "King Hunt" game in 1905, between a very young visiting Lasker and the British club champion...

Hot it too.
Castle victory by checkmating with 0-0 or 0-0-0 for sure
Especially the higher rated you go
Be jealous, peasants MWAHAHA

Seriously though, when I saw the line I was so scared he would resign, I'm glad he was a good sport and played until mate.

Actually not hard at all if you have an opponent that plays until mate.

castle victory is REALLY hard to get if you have a higher rating because most people you play are too strong to give castling odds to & will resign lost positions nearly all the time anyways. 😖

castle victory would probably also give you killer king, since it's a king move. 🙂

but it says 0-0# or 0-0-0# and it doesn't start with a k, so I don't think you will get killer king
