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.
