The lesson in words
A king is worth about three men, so winning one is worth a sacrifice.
Because captures are compulsory, you can offer the king a piece so that it has to land on a square where you capture it.
The black king sits on the main road. Put a man on that diagonal so the king has to capture it and land on b2, right in front of your man on a1.
Try it: Set the trap.
Compulsory capture applies to kings as well. Lure them onto the square you choose.
