Best attacking piece : the king

Nice game!

Steinitz envisioned the king as a strong piece which can take care of itself.
Something I partially agree with as long as the queens are not present on the board.

Modern research indicates that the king is close to a knight in value. But the king's fighting value is ambiguous and must not be used recklessly. The fighting power is not commensurate with how important it is.
