Thanks so much! I call this kind of combination "the vacuum effect". The king is "sucked out of his corner"....

That's a nice term.

Here's Tal's King going on a walkabout.

As Black in my "Kids, don't try this at home!" Sicilian Najdorf game, I brought my King out to c5 in the early middle game, with the center open and the enemy Rook and Queen chasing it.

A walk with a purpose.

Thanks!  Shame, but thanks!

Oh, how do you reply to a particular message?

Thanks!

Here's sorry scan of the game as presented in Sobernheim's chess column in the N.Y. Recorder March 3, 1895 (via chessarch.com/ )

I rather like this queenless walk by Potter.  The story goes that when he started the walk of his opponent's king he announced Mate in 9.

THanks!

I feel like at move #11 for black, if he had played Nxf3, they'd have won.

I don't know if this one was already shared but i remember this from a study lesson. Very interesting king walk while major pieces were on the board. King goes for checkmate, unstoppable. 

Done by Nigel Short in '92
