The king in Chess is a small, usually ornate piece that represents the ruler of the kingdom. It is typically the tallest piece on the board and is often depicted wearing a crown. The king can move one square in any direction, but cannot move into a square that is under attack by an opponent's piece. The king is the most important piece in the game, as the objective is to protect it from being captured by the opponent.
