Walk the King, Feel the Sting; Fredthebear Thing
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

There he goes again!

These are mostly forced king walks (some farther than others) via check or threat of checkmate that sent the monarch on the run. Fredthebear followed along to create this collection. Generally, these are NOT queenless middlegames where the king came out as an attacker, but some are included. (Trompowsky Attack A45 0-1 A Bigg vs Pavel Dimitrov, 2008 comes to mind.)

See The Walking Addiction compiled by sevenseaman. I have no idea how many games we share alike. The stalker perfidious is abusive to others; always has been, always will be.

This is a collection split. The 1.e4 games have their own king walk collection now. The 1.e4 games will be removed here in due time.

Perpetual check feels like nothing else in a dead lost position.

The Wolf, the Mother, And Her Child

This wolf another brings to mind,
Who found dame Fortune more unkind,
In that the greedy, pirate sinner,
Was balked of life as well as dinner.
As says our tale, a villager
Dwelt in a by, unguarded place;
There, hungry, watched our pillager
For luck and chance to mend his case.
For there his thievish eyes had seen
All sorts of game go out and in –
Nice sucking calves, and lambs and sheep;
And turkeys by the regiment,
With steps so proud, and necks so bent,
Theyed make a daintier glutton weep.
The thief at length began to tire
Of being gnawed by vain desire.
Just then a child set up a cry:
"Be still," the mother said, "or I
Will throw you to the wolf, you brat!"
"Ha, ha!" thought he, "what talk is that!
The gods be thanked for luck so good!"
And ready at the door he stood,
When soothingly the mother said,
"Now cry no more, my little dear;
That naughty wolf, if he comes here,
Your dear papa shall kill him dead."
"Humph!" cried the veteran mutton-eater.
"Now this, now that! Now hot, now cool!
Is this the way they change their metre?
And do they take me for a fool?
Some day, a nutting in the wood,
That young one yet shall be my food."
But little time has he to dote
On such a feast; the dogs rush out
And seize the caitiff by the throat;
And country ditchers, thick and stout,
With rustic spears and forks of iron,
The hapless animal environ.
"What brought you here, old head?" cried one.
He told it all, as I have done.
"Why, bless my soul!" the frantic mother said, – "You, villain, eat my little son!
And did I nurse the darling boy,
Your fiendish appetite to cloy?"
With that they knocked him on the head.
His feet and scalp they bore to town,
To grace the seigneur's hall,
Where, pinned against the wall,
This verse completed his renown:
"You honest wolves, believe not all
That mothers say, when children squall!"
