I've heard all these silly arguments about how it should be "Black to play and win" or "White to play and draw" or "White to play and keep material," but it is all junk to me. I think all that is necessary is "Black to play [and make *the best move*]." A good player should be able to figure out whether "the best move" leads to keeping material, a mate in X, gaining material, drawing the game, etc. That's how real games are anyway.

The wonders of king activity! Take your lazy king for a walk today! =D The main rule of this collection is that the king walk must be voluntary and not the product of checks. It's a king walk, not a king hunt! Endgame king walks don't count either. It has to be in the opening or the middlegame. ;)
