For all the talk of strategy, checkmate is what ends the game. And hunting the enemy king is the first and final love for many chess players, the ultimate essence of the game. The high stake sacrifice, the tenacious defense and the brilliant finishing move are a major part of many of the most beloved games in history. Mato Jelic, the hugely popular chess coach, has produced an extraordinary new investigation and training course into the art of the King Hunt.
The most natural place for the king is to be castled safely in the corner. It is advisable for each chess player to castle on time and on the correct side. However, plenty of chess players castle too late. Especially in the early phase of the opening, kings are vulnerable, because of the weak squares f2 and f7 which are guarded solely by the king.
If you’re attacking an uncastled king, you can’t waste time. The king in the center is a dynamic factor, not a static one. Dynamic
chess is all about momentum. The first World Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, said: “If you have an advantage, you must use it immediately, or it will disappear”.
Generally speaking, if your king is castled and your opponent’s king is not, then the strategy is simple – stop your opponent from castling. Therefore, it is necessary to open the position. There are two ways to do this: by pawn breaks and by sacrifices.
If you’re attacking the king in the center, always create threats with your moves! This does not necessarily mean that you need to always go for checks and captures. More often than not, calm moves can pose serious problems for your opponent.
In this video, a free preview of his full course, Mato deconstructs some of the greatest attacks ever played, teaching you how to win games in the most satisfying way imaginable.
