These pieces are considered as the foot soldiers of the game. The knight can take (or “eats”) a piece anywhere the knight can land on. Or, your knight can move to c2 even if your own pawn is blocking your way. In the diagram above, you can take the black’s pawn at c6 even if the black’s rook is blocking your way. It simply jumps overhead at those pieces just like any other horses □ Unlike the queen, rook, bishop, pawn and the king, the knight can not be blocked by any piece. What’s so special about the knight is its movement. The knight moves in “L” shape consisting of three square plus one square to form an “L” shape. You can, however, take the knight and the pawn. But not on the squares with “X” mark because it is blocked by pieces. You can move anywhere you like in the designated arrows. It has the most scope in terms of movement. The queen is considered as the most powerful piece on the board. It’s like a combination of rook and a bishop. The queen moves both horizontal and diagonal. But you cannot go to a8 or b1 as it is blocked by pieces. The only difference is that it moves in a diagonal way. This piece moves similar to that of a rook. This holds true to all pieces except the knight. It doesn’t matter how many square the piece move, as long as it is not blocked. In the diagram, you can not move to h5 (marked as “X” in the diagram) because a piece is blocking your way. You can only move as far as that blocking piece. Your movements are blocked if any pieces stands in your way. The rook, like any other piece, moves in any empty square as long as there are no blocking pieces. In this example, if you take away black’s pawn at g5, you have to take away that black pawn, then place your rook at g5. When you take a piece, your own piece will be placed on that square where your opponent previously resides. In the diagram above, you can take away the black pawn (at g5 coordinates). If an opponent’s piece stands in your way, you can “eat” or take that piece. The example below shows how rook can move in any square as illustrated in the arrows. The Rook moves in straight line which could either be horizontal or vertical but not diagonal. The following shows the simple movements of the pieces. We have 16 pieces for each player which contains 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, 1 queen, and 1 king. Photos that are not mine is obviously not included.Ĭhess involves pieces on the board.
