Lesson 04

Knight

  • The knight has a unique L-shaped move; two squares in one direction either horizontally or vertically, and one square in another direction perpendicular to the first.
  • The knight is the only piece that may jump over other pieces.
  • The knight captures any opponent's piece that it lands on during its L-shaped move.


Pawn

  • Pawns can move one square straight forward, or optionally and on their first move only, two squares straight forward. 
  • The pawn can move one square diagonally forward to capture a piece.
  • But cannot capture a piece by moving straight forward. For this reason, two opposing pawns on a file may become blocked by each other.
