THE CHESS BOARD

The Pawn

The Pawn moves one or two squares forward on its first move, after that, it may only move one square forward. Pawns move forward on the file. Pawns may not move backwards.

Pawns capture only on the Diagonal.

When a pawn reaches the other side of the board, the 8th rank, it must be "promoted" to a Queen, or a Rook, or a Bishop, or a Knight. It may not be promoted to a King.

The Knight

The Knight Moves in a Straight Line from a dark square to a light square from a light square to a dark square

The Knight is the only piece that moves between (or over) other pieces. The Knight "jumps" over other pieces.

The Bishop
The Light Square Bishop moves on the Light Square Diagonals.

The Dark Square Bishop moves on the Dark Square Diagonals.
