How the pieces move

Each of the six figures moves differently. Pieces cannot jump over other pieces (with the exception of a knight) or stand on a square where a piece of the same color is already standing. However, they can take the place of the opponent's piece, which is considered captured. Pieces are usually placed so that they threaten the opponent's pieces with a capture (stand on the square where the captured piece stood, replacing it), protect their own pieces that are threatened with capture, or keep important squares of the board under attack

How the queen moves in chess

The queen is the strongest piece. He can walk in a straight line in any direction - forward, backward, to the sides or diagonally to any number of squares, but he cannot jump over other pieces. If the queen or any other piece captures an opponent's piece, the move ends. See how the white queen captures the black, forcing the black king to move.

How the rook moves in chess

The rook can move to any number of squares, but only forward, backward and sideways (not diagonally). Rooks are especially powerful when they protect each other and work together!

How an elephant walks in chess The bishop can move to any number of squares connected by diagonal corners. Each bishop has access to only half of the squares of the board (of the same color, white or black). Elephants work well together, complementing each other perfectly.

How a knight walks in chess
Knights move differently than other pieces - two squares in one direction and then one square at an angle of 90 degrees, with the letter "G". The knight is the only piece that can jump over other pieces.

How a pawn moves in chess
A pawn is an unusual piece, it moves and captures in different ways: a pawn can move only forward, and capture - only diagonally. A pawn can only move one square per turn. but a pawn that has not yet moved can move forward one or two squares. A pawn can only take one square in front of it diagonally. The pawn cannot walk or take back. If another piece is directly in front of a pawn, it cannot move forward and cannot capture that piece.
