* Pawn first move = can move either one space or two spaces directly forwards. * Pawn subsequent move - one space directly forwards * Pawn capture - to the square up one and to either the left or right. * Pawn capture en passents - can be done only when a pawn in on the fifth row and an opposing pawn on his first move moves two spaces directly beside the advanced opponents pawn. In this case and only on the first opportunity the pawn captures as if the opponents pawn had moved only one space. * pawn promotion - on reaching the eighth row a pawn can be changed to any peice providing it is of the same colour and is not a pawn or a king. * -----------------All other pieces capture as they move.----------------------- * Kinght - two (up or back) and one over(right or left), or, two over(right or left) and one (up or back). The knight cannot be blocked by pieces in its way. * Castle - and number of spaces forwards backwards or sideways but only one direction at a time. * Bishop- Any number of spaces on the diagonals. A bishop cannot change the colour of the spaces it occupies. * Queen - either as a castle or as a bishop but only one kind at a time. * King - as a queen but only one space at a time. * King side castling - Neither the king or the king's side castle have move previously, All the spaces in between the king and castle must be vacent, no space between king and castle can be under the control of an enemy piece. The castle moves up beside the king and the king hops over it to the space immediately on the other side of the castle. * Queen side castling - exactly the same as for King side castling except that it is done with the queen's side castle. * Lying down the King - admitting defeat
