When you are subjecting your opponent’s king to a very powerful attack and he lacks adequate support by his pieces, you can make all sorts of brilliant sacrifices.
In the given diagram, black runs into one of the most curious checkmates ever performed on the chess board. His king is driven right down the board and mated by a castling move. Such extraordinary happenings are to be expected when a king has already been harried toward the center of the board.
Even in the endgame stage, with material simplified, the king may be exposed to serious tactical dangers. So we should take a care of these things.
