CHESS

CHESS PIECES MOVEMENTS:

• The king moves exactly one square horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

• The queen moves any number of vacant squares in a horizontal, vertical or
diagonal direction. When making these moves, the bishop, rook or queen may not
move over any intervening pieces
• A bishop moves any number of vacant squares in any diagonal direction.
• A knight moves to the nearest square not on the same rank, file or diagonal. (This
can be thought of as moving two squares horizontally then one square vertically,
or moving one square horizontally then two squares vertically— i.e. in an “L”
pattern.) The knight is not blocked by other pieces: it jumps to the new location
• The rook moves horizontally or vertically, through any number of unoccupied
squares.
• Pawns have the most complex rules of movement: A pawn moves straight
forward one square, if that square is vacant. If it has not yet made its first
move, a pawn also has the option of moving two squares straight forward,
provided both squares are vacant. Pawns cannot move backwards.
