The Thrill of the Kingwalk
By Yasser Seirawan and Bruce Harper Foreword by Hans Ree
Marching your king across the board—sometimes straight into danger—can be bold, brilliant, or a total disaster. It’s risky, dramatic, and often unforgettable.
Kingwalks fascinate players because they break the rules of caution: the game’s most important piece steps into the spotlight.
This book explores kingwalks in many forms—used to attack, defend, escape, or even start the game. From brilliant victories to funny failures, it’s a mix of strategy and spectacle.
Kingwalks are as entertaining as they are instructive—and always memorable.
