At ChessMatec, we took the game of Chess and divided it into small and colorful lessons so that the Child has fun learning how to play in their own pace. The Chess Pieces. In Chess, the checkered board is divided into two sides so that every player places their Chess Pieces on squares closest to them.
There are six different types of chess pieces. Each side starts with 16 pieces: eight pawns , two bishops , two knights , two rooks , one queen , and one king. Let's meet them! When a game begins, each side starts with eight pawns. White's pawns are located on the second rank, while Black's pawns are located on the seventh rank.
The pawn is the least powerful piece and is worth one point. If it is a pawn's first move, it can move forward one or two squares. If a pawn has already moved, then it can move forward just one square at a time. It attacks or captures each square diagonally to the left or right.
In the following diagram, the pawn has just moved from the e2-square to the e4-square and attacks the squares d5 and f5. Each side starts with two bishops, one on a light square and one on a dark square. When a game begins, White's bishops are located on c1 and f1, while Black's bishops are located on c8 and f8. The bishop is considered a minor piece like a knight and is worth three points.
A bishop can move diagonally as many squares as it likes, as long as it is not blocked by its own pieces or an occupied square. An easy way to remember how a bishop can move is that it moves like an "X" shape.
It can capture an enemy piece by moving to the occupied square where the piece is located. Each side starts with two knights—a king's knight and a queen's knight. When a game starts, White's knights are located on b1 and g1, while Black's knights are located on b8 and g8.
The knight is considered a minor piece like a bishop and is worth three points. The knight is the only piece in chess that can jump over another piece! It moves one square left or right horizontally and then two squares up or down vertically, OR it moves two squares left or right horizontally and then one square up or down vertically—in other words, the knight moves in an "L-shape.
Each side starts with two rooks, one on the queenside and one on the kingside. All four rooks are located in the corners of the board. White's rooks start the game on a1 and h1, while Black's rooks are located on a8 and h8.
If a piece is in front of a pawn, the pawn is blocked and cannot move. Rooks castles start the game on the corner of the board. Rooks captures pieces by taking the square the enemy piece sits on.
The rook also participates, with the king, in a special move called castling. Knights move either two squares horizontally and one square vertically or one square horizontally and two vertically. Knights are the only piece that can "jump over" all other pieces. Knights captures an enemy piece by replacing it on its square. The king is the most important piece in the game of chess Since the goal is to win the opponent's king. The king, however, is usually the weakest piece in the game.
White starts the game with a king on the first rank to the right of the queen. A king can move one square in any direction horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Kings captures an enemy piece by replacing it on its square. The King also participates, with the king, in a special move called castling. The queen is the second most important piece in the game of chess Since it is the most powerful. White starts the game with a Queen on the first rank to the left of the queen.
