What is King Walk?

A King Walk is a strategy in chess where the player deliberately moves their king towards the center or across the chessboard. It usually occurs in the endgame where a relatively safe progression of the king can aid in controlling the game or pressuring the opponent. However, in some instances, a King Walk can occur even in the early or middle stages of the game, often leading to complex and intriguing positions. The term indicates the path the king traverses as it 'walks' across the board.
