How to Move
1. The Pawn
The pawn is the weakest piece in the game. Each player has eight of them. They can only move forward one square at a time and attack diagonally.
They can move two squares forward on their first move.
2. The Rook
The rook is the piece that can only move horizontally and vertically. Each player has two of them. They cannot jump over other pieces, and have a
special move called "castling." Castling will be covered in Special Moves.
3. The Bishop
The bishop is the piece that can only move diagonally. Each player has two of them. They can move to any square in that direction if not blocked by any other pieces.
4. The Knight
The knight moves in an "L" shape. It is the only piece in the game that can jump over other pieces.
5. The Queen
The queen is the most powerful piece in the game. Each player has only one queen. It can move horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. It can move to any square in either direction if not blocked
by any other pieces.
6. The King
This is the most important piece in the game. It can move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally like the queen, but only by one square.
If the king is threatened with capture, it is said to be in check. When the king is threatened, it must escape to another square. If it cannot,
the game ends with a checkmate.
