The '''King''' is the most important piece in chess, since it is the object of the game to [[Checkmate|checkmate]] the opponent's king. Each side has exactly one king. Despite his importance, the king is not the most powerfull piece and can only [[Moves|move]] one step in all eight [[Direction|directions]] if the [[Target Square|target square]] is not occupied by an own piece and not controlled by any opponent piece. A special kind of move involving king and [[Rook|rook]] from their [[Initial Position|initial position]] and may occur only once in a game is [[Castling|castling]]. The closest [[Distance|distance]] between both kings origins along a [[Ranks|rank]] or [[Files|file]] is the so called [[Opposition|opposition]] with a [[Manhattan-Distance|Manhattan-distance]] of two.
