In this lesson, you will learn

The movement patterns of the pieces 

King

The king can move one square in any direction

If the king is being threatened this is called a check

If Your king is in check and can no longer move a safe space this is called checkmate and ends the game


Queen

The queen is the strongest piece in your arsenal 

It can move in all directions all across the board

Highest point value (point values posted at end of blog)

Bishop

Moves diagonally

You have two bishops one on white squares and one on black

Can be tricky to anticipate future attacks


Knight

Most complicated movement pattern

You have two knights

Moves in an “L” shape

The only piece that can jump pieces 

           

Rook

You have two rooks

Rooks move in straight lines

You can “castle” with the king


Pawn

Pawns can move two or one space first move after that they only move one

Can only take pieces diagonally 


Can promote if you reach the other end of the board

Can't go diagonal unless a piece is there


Points

Pawn-1

Bishop-3

Knight-3

Rook-5

Queen-9 

King-???

I think the king has been given between 3 and 5 points attacking power, though it is a priceless piece.

Yes, I understand. I just thought you might like to know that it does have an attack value.
