What order on the board do chess pieces go?

Answer 1

With the board in the correct position (the left corner square on the near side for each player should be black, the right should be white), the order is: Rook, Knight, Bishop, Royalty (for white, the Queen goes on the left, the king on the right; vice versa for black), Bishop, Knight, Rook. The second row is entirely made up of pawns.

Answer 2

In English Chess: * The 8 pawns are placed on the second row of squares from the bottom. * The 2 rooks are placed at the bottom most left and right corners (below pawns). * The 2 knights are placed beside (left and right) the 2 rooks. * The 2 bishops are placed beside (left and right) the 2 knights. * The Queen is placed beside the bishop from the left. * The King is placed beside the bishop from the right, or beside the queen. In Chinese Chess: *All pieces are placed where the lines meet, not in the squares. * The 5 soldiers are placed on the second line from the river, with a spacing in between every piece. * The 2 cannons are placed on the third line from the river, with each a space from the left and right of the board. * The 2 rooks are placed on the left and right corner at the bottom of the board. * The 2 horses are placed beside (left and right) the 2 rooks. * The 2 elephants are placed beside (left and right) the 2 horses. * The 2 guards are placed beside (left and right) the 2 elephants. * The general is placed in the middle of the 2 guards.

Answer 3

Back row (from left to right): castle, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, castle

front row: pawns

P.S. there are different opinions as to which (king or queen) should be on their own colour. It probably depends on which type of game you are playing

Answer 4

A pawn is allowed to only move one block forward but when attacking it may only move one block diagonal.

A castle or rook is allowed to move as many blocks as you want forward and sideways.

A knight is the only piece that can jump over other pieces. It can move three blocks, but only in a 'L' shape. E.g. 1 left/ right, 2 forward/ backward

A bishop may only move on its starting block colour and it can move as many blocks as you want, diagonal.

A Queen can move as many blocks as you want left, right, forward and backward.

A King can only move one block, but can move left, right, forward and backward. (except when you 'castle')

Answer 5

You don't get chess pieces back. Once they are captured, they are gone for the game. However, if you promote a pawn by advancing it to the eighth row, it can become any piece you want, and that new piece occupies the same spot in the eighth row that the pawn did.
