The first move for the pawn can be either one or two spaces forward. Pawns attack diagonal only forward and when they get to the other side they can turn into a queen, rook, knight, or bishop.

What can a pawn take out in chess?

What takes out what in chess?

its very simple, as long as your piece can "legally" take your oponents, it can take it. eg a pawn can take a queen, a pawn is the least desired piece and a queen is the most valuable.


Can you take up an apponents piece in chess without moving?

Yes, you can. There is a move called "en passant" that enables you to take a pawn without moving. If the opponent's pawn jumps two spaces in its first move to avoid being taken by your pawn, "en passant" is in effect and you can take his pawn.

In the game chess what is the special exception of taking en-passant?

En-passant happens when the opponent moves a pawn up two squares, and only the turn immediately after the pawn moves, next to one of your pawns. Then, you take diagonally to the unoccupied space behind his/her pawn and remove his piece. It is the only chess move where the capturer does not take the opponent's piece's place.


What is the chess term beginning with en?

the Chess term "en passant" is French for "In passing" and may occur when a pawn moves two squares forward and ends beside an opposing pawn that is three moves away from it's starting position. The opposing pawn may then take the pawn beside it as if it had only moved one square during the first turn it moved there.


There are 32 chess pieces what is the probability that you will take out a white pawn and then without replacement another white pawn?

The steps you would use to figure that out is to do 8/32(the number of white pawns out of all the pieces) times 7/32(the number of white pawns left.) 8/32=1/4 1/4 * 7/32= 7/128.

Do you only get the chess piece whose square you land on?

Almost always, this is true; you only get the chess piece whose square you land on. An exception is called 'en passant', and even here you get to take a piece by landing on the square the piece just moved over. It is a special move involving Pawn takes Pawn that you would have to read about before using.

Can a pawn take anyother piece in chess?

This is a special capture made immediately after a player moves a pawn two squares forward from its starting position, and an opposing pawn could have captured it as if it had moved only one square forward. In this situation, the opposing pawn may capture the pawn as if taking it "as it passes" through the first square. The resulting position is the same as if the pawn had only moved one square forward and the opposing pawn had captured normally. For more info, see Related Links, below.
