King on d1: Kingside

The king on d1 — right in the middle of the first rank, between two rooks. Kingside castling will send him to g1 — three squares towards the corner, under the pawns' protection. I've noticed: when the king is in the centre, he's easier to attack, so you want to castle as soon as you can. Drag the king onto the rook on h1!
