 Chess Piece Explanation of Movement

1. King The King is the most important piece on the chessboard. If he is

checkmated, the game is over! The King in chess can move one
space in any direction. He can never move in to "check" (where he
is threatened by another piece). This means the king can never be
in the space adjacent to the opposing King.
2. Queen The Queen is often considered the most powerful piece on the
chessboard. She is placed next to the king, on her own color. The
Queen can move in any direction. However, she is not limited to
just one space - she can move any number of spaces in any
direction, as long as she is not obstructed by another piece
3. Rook There are two Rooks for each player on the chessboard, situated
on the corners, next to the Knight. These pieces move up and
down the rank and file of the chessboard, and can move any
number of spaces as long as they are not obstructed by another
piece. If the obstructing chess piece belong to their opponent, they
are free to capture it.
4. Horse/Knight There are two Knights for each player on the chessboard, situated
between the Bishop and the Rook. The Knight has the unique trait
of being able to 'leap' over other pieces. They move in an "L"
shape. If they land on an opposing piece, it is captured.
5. Bishop There are two Bishops for each player on the chessboard, situated
next to Queen and the King, respectively. These pieces move
along the diagonals of the chessboard. They can move any number
of spaces on the diagonals as long as they are not obstructed by
another chess piece.
