Why is the king so weak in chess?

Hey andrzej kmicic , I am rick roll

Pleasure to meet ya

I think the relative weakness of the king in chess reflects historical awareness that "kings" were often little more that figureheads manipulated by others who held the real power.

THERE IS THAT OPTION

can king become a strong piece in the future?

The king is not weak. It's forced to hide and retreat because its capture ends the game. If there was not such a key piece and the game was just all about winning material, for example, a piece with the king's powers would be quite useful even in the middlegame.

wdym it's so strong

He's not. He just had one too many pints so he's a little tipsy.

The king isn't that weak tbh. It just cannot move to squares attacked by the pieces of the opposite color. If the king and its pieces cannot save it from capture, then it is checkmate.

no! king is the worst piece at chess

every one hate it

all the pieces and pawns hate the king because the king always tells them to go to squares where they will die (blunders)

king always sucks we lose our piece at discover check and other tactics like fork and moree

#king-sucks-always

technically witout king we can't play the game!

but king suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks as a piece
