The king only moves one square in any direction. Up, down, side, and diagonally the king may never
move himself into a check where he can be captured.
THE QUEEN
- The Queen is the most powerful piece in the game. It can move in any straight direction- forward,
backward, sideways, or diagonally. As all the other pieces except the knight it cannot move over
intervening piece.
THE ROOK
- The rook may have to move to any square as far as it wants, but only forward, backward and to the
sides. The rook are particularly powerful pieces when they are protecting each other and working
together.
THE BISHOP
- The bishop may move as far as it wants, but only diagonally. Each bishop starts on one color and must
always stay on that color. Bishops works well together because they cover up each other pieces.
THE PAWN

pawn can advance two squares at a time. Succeeding moves will be one square at a time.

TERMS TO REMEMBER
Castling
- Castling is a move in chess. It consists of moving the king two squares toward a rook on the same rank
and then moving the rook to the square that the king passed over.

Check
- Check is a situation in the game of Chess where a player's King is threatened directly by another
player's piece. If at any point in the game a player's King is threatened directly by another player's
piece so that in their next turn, they will be able to capture him - the other player has put the King in
“Check”.
Checkmate
- Checkmate (often shortened to mate) is any game position in chess and other chess-like games in
which a player's king is in check (threatened with capture) and there is no possible escape.
Checkmating the opponent wins the game.
Draw
- While playing Chess, a Draw is declared when a player has made the same moves, or is about to make
the same move, three times in a row – since the player cannot make any progress.
Promotion
- In chess, promotion is the replacement of a pawn with a new piece when the pawn is moved to its last
rank. The player replaces the pawn immediately with a queen, rook, bishop, or knight of the same
color. The new piece does not have to be a previously captured piece.
