The king is also part of the game
Do you know what most beginners want when they have a king? Another king. And they forget to play with the one they already have. In DIAGRAM 1 Henk played with white against Bas with black. Henk says: I am locked and he gave away 2 pieces. After the game the teacher said to Henk Play with your King. |
