The king (♔♚) is the most important piece in the Game of Chess . The king represents the prize the opposition seeks to win. If a player's king is threatened and cannot escape capture, the king is said to be in Checkmate , and the player which owns that king loses the game. In a conventional game of chess, White starts with the king in the middle-right of their first rank (between the Queen and the king-side Bishop ). Black starts with the king directly across from the white king. In Algebraic Notation , the white king starts on e1 and the black king on e8. MOVEMENT
