The document summarizes the movements of each chess piece: - Pawns can move one square forward and capture diagonally. They are the most basic pieces. - Rooks can move any number of squares horizontally or vertically but not diagonally. They are involved in castling. - Knights move in an L-shape, either two squares in one direction and one perpendicular or vice versa. - Bishops can move any number of squares diagonally. - Queens combine the movements of rooks and bishops. - Kings have the most restricted movement, only one square in any direction, and cannot be put in check.

CHESS PIECES AND HOW THEY MOVE

*So, there are 16 chess pieces, consisting of 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2


bishops, and a king and a queen. In playing chess, White always goes first.

*So, the first one is The Pawn, pawn chess piece is often the most overlooked of
all the chess pieces. The piece itself is very simple. Pawns can move in both
simple and complex ways. The pawn piece has the fewest options for movement
of any chess piece on the board, and it can only move forward until it reaches the
other side. Two pawns are considered a "ram" when they meet on squares
directly in front of each other. A ram occurs when two pawn pieces on the board
block each other's movement.

*The rooks, they are the chess pieces with the simplest movements on the board.
They only move in straight lines, forward, backward, or side to side. The piece can
move in any direction during the game, including straight ahead, behind, and to
the side. The rook piece is the only one on the board that can join the King piece
in a "castling" move. This is a move in which the King and Rook pieces collaborate.

*The Knight chess piece moves in a very mysterious way. Unlike Rooks, Bishops or
Queens, the Knight is limited in the number of squares it can move across. In fact,
its movement is a very specific movement. The piece moves in a shape like the
uppercase "L". The Knight also has a unique ability to attack another piece
without risking being attacked by the same piece.

*The bishop chess piece is unable to move in any direction other than diagonally.
And, as the game progresses, bishops are typically regarded as stronger pieces.

*The queen chess piece is a combination of the rook and bishop. The queen can
move in any direction, forward or diagonally. The queen can be used in a variety
of defensive strategies and is efficient in defending the King regardless of his
location on the board.

*The movement of the king's chess pieces is restricted. They can't move as
quickly as most other pieces across the chess board, and they're easier to contain
than most other chess pieces from an opponent's perspective.
 Pawn chess pieces can only directly forward one square, with two exceptions.
 Pawns can move directly forward two squares on their first move only.
 Pawns can move diagonally forward when capturing an opponent's chess piece.
 Once a pawn chess piece reaches the other side of the chess board, the player may "trade" the
pawn in for any other chess piece if they choose, except another king.


 The rook piece can move forward,
backward, left or right at any time.
 The rook piece can move anywhere from 1 to 7 squares in any direction, so long as it is not
obstructed by any other piece.

  The Knight piece can move forward, backward, left or right two squares and must then
move one square in either perpendicular direction.
 The Knight piece can only move to one of up to eight positions on the board.
 The Knight piece can move to any position not already inhabited by another piece of the same
color.
 The Knight piece can skip over any other pieces to reach its destination position.
 The bishop can move in any direction diagonally, so long as it is not obstructed by another piece.
 The bishop piece cannot move past any piece that is obstructing its path.
 The bishop can take any other piece on the board that is within its bounds of movement.

  The queen can move in any


direction on a straight or diagonal path.
 The queen cannot "jump" over any piece on the board, so its movements are restricted to any
direction of unoccupied squares.
 The queen can be used to capture any of your opponent's pieces on the board.

 The king piece can move one single square in any direction.
 The king cannot move onto a square that is currently occupied by a piece from its own team.
 The king piece cannot move to any square that puts them into a "check" position.
 The king piece can participate in a move known as "castling", where the piece can move up to
three squares while exchanging places with a rook chess piece.
