Understand How Each Chess Piece Moves

1. Pawn
Pawns are the most numerous pieces in a game of chess. Where, each player has 8 pawns. Pawns can move forward one step forward on each turn. Except on their first move where pawns can choose to move forward 1-2 steps.

2. Rook
This chess piece has the shape of a castle tower. The rook can move forward, backward, or sideways as far as desired along its row or column. This makes the rook a strong piece in a game of chess.

3. Knight
The knight has a unique movement in the form of an “L”. The knight can move two steps forward or backward, followed by one step to the side. Or vice versa, one step forward or backward, followed by two steps to the side. This allows the knight to move across other pieces on the chessboard. However, the knight can only attack pieces on the square it wants to occupy.

4. Bishop
A bishop can move as far as it wants along the diagonal of pieces that have the same color as it. Each bishop is on one of the colors (black or white) and can only move along the diagonal of pieces of the same color.

5. Queen
The queen is the most powerful piece in the game of chess. The queen can move as far as it wants along a row, column, or diagonal. This makes the queen very flexible and can be used to attack and defend positions in various parts of the chessboard. However, these moves can be made as long as the path on the chess square is still open. 

6. King
Although the king has limited movement, his role in the game is very important. The king can move one step in any direction (forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally). Protecting the king and maintaining a safe position for him is the main goal in the game of chess. So, when the king is killed, the player will lose. 

Here are some tips for avoiding chess traps:

1. Recognize common traps. There are many resources available to help you learn about these traps, such as books, websites, and apps.

2. Think twice before making an unusual move. If you see a move that seems too good to be true, it probably is a trap.

3. Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're not sure whether a move you're considering is a trap, ask a more experienced player for help.

Castle before move 10

munirsahrul

Castling is only allowed if neither the king nor the rook has moved before; the square between the king and the rook is empty; and the king has not left, crossed, or finished the game on a square attacked by an opponent's piece. Castling is the only move in chess where two pieces are moved at once.
