The only piece in Chess that is categorically not allowed to move backwards towards their own side is the pawn. Every other piece can move either away or towards their opponent in a number of idiosyncratic ways.

Well, technically, in draughts (or checkers as some people call it), you can move your pieces backwards if you're a king. So, if you manage to get your piece to the back row of your opponent's side, it can then move both forwards and backwards. But let's be real, who's actually gonna eat their opponent's pieces backwards? It's all about strategizing and outsmarting your opponent, not chowing down on their checkers.
