Do pawns in chess move forword or diangle?

Pawns in chess are unique from any other piece in that they move and attack in different directions. Pawns may move one or two spaces forward when on the 2nd or 7th rank (their starting positions for white and black respectively), and one space after that. They attack diagonally forward, either to the left or the right. This makes it possible to have multiple pawns on one file or vertical lines of squares. They cannot move backwards.


The Pawn?

The pawn (♙, ♟) is the most numerous and weakest piece in the game of chess. It may move one vacant square directly forward, it may move two vacant squares directly forward on its first move, and it may capture one square diagonally forward. Each player begins a game with eight pawns, one on each square of their second rank. The white pawns start on a2 through h2; the black pawns start on a7 through h7.


Can 2 pawns move 1 space each simultaneously in the opening?

Yes, in one very specific situation called Castling. If the King has not moved, and a Rook has not moved, then if the intervening pieces (Knight, Bishop, Queen) have moved out of the way, then you may protectively castle the king by moving him two squares on his side or three on the queen's, and moving the rook two to the left or right as appropriate to defend him.

Powers of the 16 pieces of chess?

Movement Permissions9/16 Pawns- Pawns can move forward one space - They CANNOT move over a space occupied by the enemy- On their first move, Pawns CAN move forward two spaces- Pawns can only take by moving forward diagonally (this move can only be performed if there is any enemy piece in the space- If a pawn manages to occupy one of the spaces in the back row then it MUST be "promoted" to either a bishop, knight, rook, or a queen- If the enemy moves his pawn two spaces forward so that it is one space either to the left or the right of your pawn then you could move your pawn to take theirs as if they had only moved it one space. This move is called en passant which means "in passing" and must be performed (if at all) on the turn after the enemy moves his pawn2/16 Bishops- Bishops can move as far as possible in a diagonal direction- They CANNOT move over a space occupied by the enemy2/16 Rooks- Rooks an move as far as possible in a vertical or horizontal direction- They CANNOT move over a space occupied by the enemy2/16 Knights- Knights can move in an L shaped direction (either twice in one direction and once in another OR once in one direction or twice in another)- They CAN move over a space occupied by the enemy1/16 Queen- Queens can move as far as possible in ANY direction- They CANNOT move over a space occupied by the enemy1/16 King- Kings can move one space in ANY direction- If your king is taken, you loseHope this helps!I certainly enjoyed writing it!
