In this video course, kings will play a role of strong and active pieces. We will explore how Kings can be helpful in defence and prophylaxis, or even in attack!. The most important piece in chess does not always need to be protected. The young Indian player Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu showed just how fascinatingly the king can be used actively in chess with his king march against Anish Giri at the GCT Superbet tournament in Bucharest. Of course, this game took place well after the editorial deadline for the new episode "The Inner Strength of Kings" from Jan Markos' video series "Middlegame Secrets". But the Slovak coach has plenty of equivalent and instructive patterns at his fingertips. He offers players of all levels new aspects of how the king can be used to advantage and protected in often surprising ways.
