i like bishops because they move unlimited unoccupied pieces but ONLY diagonally. And rooks too because they move unlimited unoccupied pieces but ONLY forwards, backwards or sideways. The queen can move unlimited unoccupied pieces in any direction. Also, the queen is the most powerful piece. if you want the knight, (The knight is the horse) well, actually its not a secret. sorry, but i cant change it. and please, give me more time for online chess!!! the knight moves the shape like a L, a 90 degree turn, then one more square. the pawn goes one or two pieces. the pawn does en passant (Which is french for in passing) and pawn promotion.

I'm afraid we won't hear much more from our brave friend here. The Illuminati, the Vatican and Seal Team Six are after him for revealing the top-secret movement of the chess pieces. They must stop him before he reveals the ultimate mystery, the moves of the horsey. The question is whether civilization can hold together or if chaos and disorder will engulf the planet now that these secrets are out.

This made me realize I have always played with crappy boards! While the ones I have always show 64 squares, his board is unlimited...no wonder I am terrible at Chess, I don't even know the basics of electing the best board to play with.

Lesson learned: Chess begins even before the opening, with the correct choice of the board.

This blew my mind so hard that I am no longer able to understand its significance.

Trying to explain to my family why I am laughing while reading these comments doesn't translate well to the uninformed.   Thank you, though.

My opponent moved his King and Castle-thing at the same time. Isn't this illegal. Please explain.

Nope it a glitch in the program, similar to the one where the pawn just skips a square .

I have been moved to invent the swiss-army-knife chesspiece which is whatever you need whenever you need it.  I shall now patent my version of chess and you will all pay me royalties.

Let me get this straight, the Queen can move more than one square at a time, unlike the King? I thought the were a matched set.

 Well...I hope you're happy now....

 You've got all kinds off people believing your "Bishop only moves diagonally"-nonsense now. Frown 

At least some of us still know the truth.
