| The king can move only one square at a time but it can move in any direction | |
 |
|
| This means that the king may be able to reach 8 different squares. It is a fairly powerful piece. The next few pictures show where the king could go. The starting square is shown by a star. |
 |
| If the king is standing on c6 it can capture the rook on its next move Kxb7. | |
