Knights: Knights move in an 'L' shape, where they move two squares horizontally or vertically & one square in the other direction.Pawns also have a special move named En Passant, which allows them to capture an opposing pawn which is paralle to them while jumping forward at an angle to another cell.

The term checkmate is an alteration of the Persian phrase “Shah Mat”, meaning literally, “the King is ambushed”, and not “the King is dead”, that is a common misconception.Almost every game in our collection was created using a game building tool named Construct. The ultimate aim in the chess game is delivering a checkmate – trapping your opponent´s king. When the king is attacked by another piece this is called "check". The king may never move himself into check (where he could be captured). The king can only move one square in any direction - up, down, to the sides, and diagonally. King: The king is the most important piece, but is one of the weakest. Notice how the white queen captures the black queen and then the black king is forced to move.Ħ. And, like with all pieces, if the queen captures an opponent's piece her move is over. She can move in any one straight direction - forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally - as far as possible as long as she does not move through any of her own pieces. Queen: The queen is the most powerful piece. The rooks are particularly powerful pieces when they are protecting each other and working together!ĥ. Rooks: The rook may move as far as it wants, but only forward, backward, and to the sides. Bishops work well together because they cover up each other's weaknesses.Ĥ. Each bishop starts on one color (light or dark) and must always stay on that color. Bishops: The bishop may move as far as it wants, but only diagonally. Knights: Knights move in a very different way from the other pieces – going two squares in one direction, and then one more move at a 90 degree angle, just like the shape of an “L”.ģ. If there is another piece directly in front of a pawn he cannot move past or capture that piece.Ģ. They can never move or capture backwards. Pawns can only capture one square diagonally in front of them. Pawns can only move forward one square at a time, except for their very first move where they can move forward two squares.
