Can someone list all of the diagonals in chess?
Queens can go in any direction but can not use the same movement as the knight. Bishops can also move diagonally as far as they want. The Kings can move the same as queen but are only able to go one space. Sometimes pawns can move this way but only when taking out a foe.
Do pawns have to go in the same direction for their double move?
yes
Why is there a cross on the king piece in chess?
The pieces in chess all represent opposing kingdoms as would have been involved in wars of the distant past. The rooks (chariots), knights, bishops, and pawns represent the allied forces within a realm. In some early forms of chess, the queen was actually a weak piece with the same movement as the king. Later changes in the rules of movement made her the most powerful of the pieces. The queen can move in the same manner as do rooks and bishops. This makes her powerful in attacks. But like all the other pieces, she is still used to protect the king.

How do I get my queen back in chess?
You would have to pin the Queen between their King and your attacking piece, and your attacking piece would have to be defended by multiple other pieces, preferably those who can put a check on the king should your attacking piece be destroyed. If you were attacking on a horizontal or a vertical, you would want a couple of rooks, or a queen and a rook in the horizontal/ vertical you used, and the same thing for diagonals, except using a bishop replacing the rook.

How many chess pieces are in a chess set?
There are 32 pieces. 1 king, 1 queen, 2 bishops, 2 nights, 2 rooks and 8 pawns on each side (or color). == There are 12 pieces on a chess board, according to those who play. The kings, the queens and the pawns are not technically pieces. That leaves the 4 rooks, the 4 knights and the 4 bishops. Technically there are several definitions of the word piece depending on context and it could include the pawns, king and queen. But players during a game will not refer to pawns as pieces. Some definitions say a piece is anything other than a pawn. That would include the King and Queen and is my personal choice. I believe most everyone would include at least the Queen as a piece, since the Queen and Rook are considered major pieces while the Bishop and Knight are referred to as minor pieces and a piece by any other name is still a piece. I like to show off by telling new players that pawns are not pieces. I just hope that that new player does not tell me to read the World Federation of Chess Handbook, Section E. I. 01A Laws of Chess where in Section 2.2 it says this: 2.2 At the beginning of the game one player has 16 light-coloured pieces (the `white` pieces); the other has 16 dark-coloured pieces (the `black` pieces): So who am I to argue wth the World Federation of Chess. But still, I am going to tell new players that pieces are anything but pawns, and take the risk that some newbie is going to tell me I am wrong and I should read the Rules. Besides real players really do not call pawns pieces, no matter what the Handbook says.
