KING QUEEN BISHOP KNIGHT ROOK PAWN


CHESS
PAWN
is the least powerful piece and is
worth one point. If it is a pawn's first
move, it can move forward one or two
squares. If a pawn has already moved,
then it can move forward just one
square at a time. It attacks (or
captures) each square diagonally to
the left or right.
ROOK
Each side starts with two rooks, one on the
queenside and one on the kingside. All four
rooks are located in the corners of the board.
The rook is considered a major piece (like the
queen) and is worth five points. It can move as
many squares as it likes left or right
horizontally, or as many squares as it likes up or
down vertically (as long as it isn't blocked by
other pieces). An easy way to remember how a
rook can move is that it moves like a "+" sign.
KNIGHT
The knight is considered a minor piece (like a
bishop) and is worth three points. The knight is the
only piece in chess that can jump over another
piece! It moves one square left or right
horizontally and then two squares up or down
vertically, OR it moves two squares left or right
horizontally and then one square up or down
vertically—in other words, the knight moves in an
"L-shape." The knight can capture only what it
lands on, not what it jumps over!
BISHOP
The bishop is considered a minor piece (like a knight)
and is worth three points. A bishop can move
diagonally as many squares as it likes, as long as it is
not blocked by its own pieces or an occupied square. An
easy way to remember how a bishop can move is that it
moves like an "X" shape. It can capture an enemy
piece by moving to the occupied square where the
piece is located.
QUEEN
The queen is considered a major piece (like a rook)
and is worth nine points. It can move as many
squares as it likes left or right horizontally, or as
many squares as it likes up or down vertically (like a
rook). The queen can also move as many squares as it
likes diagonally (like a bishop). An easy way to
remember how a queen can move is that it moves
like a rook and a bishop combined
KING
The king is the most important chess piece. Remember,
the goal of a game of chess is to checkmate the king!
When a game starts, each side has one king. White's king
is located on e1, while Black's king starts on e8. The king is
not a very powerful piece, as it can only move (or capture)
one square in any direction. Please note that the king
cannot be captured! When a king is attacked, it is called
"check."
