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.

Each chess piece has its own movement rules. The only pieces that are restricted from moving "backward" are pawns.
