In chess classes, I have been told either that king is worth an infinite amount of points or 10 points. What is the actual material-worth of the king piece?

Welcome to [chess.se]! The answer in the linked question also discusses the 'tactical' strength of the king and gives it a point value. – Glorfindel Nov 05 '19 at 14:45

The question is meaningless. What do you mean with "worth"? – David Nov 05 '19 at 15:02

1Both sides always have 1 king, so there's usually no situations where the value of the king matters. – RemcoGerlich Nov 05 '19 at 15:44

The value of the King is infinite, but its power is about that of a minor piece. – PhishMaster Nov 05 '19 at 17:29
