How the king moves in chess

The king moves one square in any direction. It must stay out of check. Meet Nidoking, our king piece, and try its lesson.

The kings can never stand on neighbouring squares.

Keep your king safe: a move cannot leave it in check.

Nidoking wears the king costume in this game. The symbol on the base shows the real chess piece.
