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.

How does a pawn move in chess?
Pawns in chess move straight forward (never backward) along the file that they start on. They move one space, except that on their first move they have the option of moving two spaces. Pawns attack and capture on their forward diagonals (one square up and over to either side), so they may by capturing leave their initial file during the game, and continue to move forward on the new file. So it is possible to have two or more pawns on the same file. Pawns cannot move forward to an occupied square.PromotionA pawn, on reaching the 8th rank (far side of the board) must be promoted to any major piece except a King. Normally the promotion is to a Queen, and this promotion can be made regardless of whether the player already has one or more queens on the board.En passant ruleIf a player moves a pawn two spaces on its first move, and his opponent has a pawn that attacks the square over which the pawn "passed" (the one-space move), then the opponent may on that move only use his pawn to capture the pawn, as if it had only moved a single space.(see related link to other chess rules covering pawns)
