When capturing, it moves
diagonally (forward) one square.
See also en passent (below.)
6. The King can move one
square in any direction, as long
as it is not attacked by an enemy
piece. See also Castling (below)
Special Moves
1. Castling is a move of
both the King and either Rook
which counts as a single move
(of the King) and is executed as
diagrammed below:
Castling cannot occur if:
a) the King has already been
moved.
b) the Rook has already been
moved.
c) there is any piece between
the King and the Rook.
d) the King’s original square,
or the square which the King must
cross, or the one which it is to
occupy is attacked by an enemy
piece.
2. A Pawn may make an en
passent capture if it is a reply
move to a double pawn move, and
it is a Pawn which is side-by-side
with the Pawn which made the
double pawn move. The capture
of a white Pawn is diagrammed
below:
3. A Pawn can be promoted if
it advances all the way to the far
side of the board. It is immediately
promoted, as part of the same
move, into a Queen, Rook,
Bishop, or Knight, whichever its
owner chooses. Since a Queen
is the most powerful piece, it
is nearly always chosen as the
promotion piece. Through the
promotion process, there may be
more than one Queen on the board
at the same time.
Some Tips on Chess
1. Castle your King into safety
as soon as possible.
2. If you control the center
squares you will achieve an
advantage. To do this move your
center Pawns and develop your
Bishops and Knights early in the
game.
3. Take advantage of capture
situations, particularly if you will
gain material.
