Moving the chess pieces:
Queen
With the queen, a player can
move as many squares as
desired, in all directions, i.e.
diagonally, vertically and
horizontally.
King
With the king, a player can
move in any direction (diago-
nally, vertically, horizontally),
but only by one square per
turn. When the king is threa-
tened, he may not be treated
like any other piece. A player
must warn that the king is under threat by calling
„check".
Castle
With the castle, a player can
move as many squares as
desired, either vertically or
horizontally. The opponent's
pieces can only be attacked
and captured within this row
of squares.
Bishop
The bishops can be moved any
desired number of squares,
but only in a diagonal direc-
tion. Since the bishops may
never change their square
colour, they can only be atta-
cked or captured on a square
of „their" colour.
Knight
The knight is the only piece
with which a player may jump
over other pieces. It is a parti-
cularly manoeuvrable piece.
Moves using the knight are
made as follows: „one square
ahead, then one square
diagonally". That means that moves made with a
knight always end on squares of the other colour.
Pawns
Pawns can only be moved
forwards by one or two squa-
res - however they can only
be moved two squares from
their starting position. As soon
as the pawns are outside of
their starting position, they
may only be moved one square per turn. The pawns
can neither move backwards, nor attack or capture
other pieces in a backwards direction. Pawns can
only be used to capture opposing pieces by moving
in a diagonal direction.
If you succeed in moving a
pawn all the way to your op-
ponent's base line, you can
swap it for another piece that
your opponent took from you
in a previous move, regardless
of whether or not the same
pieces are already in the game.
Capturing:
When a chess piece is captured, the attacking piece
takes the place of the piece which was removed
from the board. An „en passant" capture may
only be made if a pawn is moved from the starting
position. If a player moves a pawn two squares
