Special Moves Description
Basics of Chess
The king: It is the most important piece, but is one of the weakest. The king can only move one square in any direction - up, down, to the sides, and diagonally.
Strategy Tip: Guard the king closely. His loss means loss of the game. He is typically not a good piece to use on offense, but will be a help in a carefully constructed defense. It is also wise to position the king so that he has a square to run to if attacked. For example, a king can easily be check-mated by standing behind a straight wall of unmoved pawns.
QUEEN : The queen is thee most powerful piece in the game of chess, able to move any number of squares vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
Strategy Tip: The queen's power also makes her too valuable to casually risk. Against skilled players, the loss of the queen is nearly equal to losing the game. For this reason, it is generally thought to be unwise to bring the queen out too early. The cluttered board makes her more vulnerable to entrapment.
ROOK : A chess piece that may move in a straight line over any number of empty squares in a rank or file. The rook, shaped like a castle, hence Also called as castle.
Strategy Tip: rook's position on the edge of the battlefield it usually is not used until the later phases of the game. The rook may also make a move in conjunction with the king.
KNIGHT : The knight is the only piece on the board that may jump over other pieces. This gives it a degree of flexibility that makes it a powerful piece especially early in the game when the board is cluttered with pieces.
Strategy Tip: Use the knight early on to undermine the opponent's defence, especially the pawns which can sometimes be picked off by a ranging knight. The knight is the piece most likely to sneak in behind "enemy" lines to capture an important piece.
BISHOP : The bishop may move any number of squares in a diagonal direction until it is prevented from continuing by another piece. It may then capture the opposing piece by landing on the square. It may not jump over pieces as can the knight.
Strategy Tip: Try moving forward the pawn in front of the knight and then situating the bishop in its spot. This is a powerful position for the bishop.
PAWN : There are eight pawns situated on each side of the board. They are the least powerful piece on the chess board, but have the potential to become equal to the most powerful. Pawns cannot move backward or sideways, but must move straight ahead unless they are taking another piece.
Strategy Tip: Should a pawn get all the way across the board to reach the opponent's edge of the table, it will be promoted. The pawn may now become any piece that the moving player desires (except a king or pawn). Thus a player may end up having more than one queen on the board.
