Chess Pieces

What Are The Chess Pieces? 
The chess pieces are what you move on a chessboard when playing a game of chess. There are six different types of chess pieces. Each side starts with 16 pieces:

eight pawns
two bishops
two knights
two rooks
one queen
and one king

How The Chess Pieces Move
King - Moves one square in any direction.
Queen - Moves any number of squares diagonally, horizontally, or vertically.
Rook - Moves any number of squares horizontally or vertically.
Bishop - Moves any number of squares diagonally.
Knight - Moves in an ‘L-shape,’ two squares in a straight direction, and then one square perpendicular to that.
Pawn - Moves one square forward, but on its first move, it can move two squares forward. It captures diagonally one square forward.
