4. BISHOP
The Bishop can move to any square along the same diagonal on which it stands (except as limited by
Article 1.3).
5. KNIGHT
The Knight's move is in the shape of an "L", moving two squares horizontally vertically, and then
one square at 90° angle from the first move. These two moves can be reversed (one square and then
two) if desired.
6. PAWN
The Pawn can move either one or two squares forward on its first move, and then one square forward
at any time afterward. When capturing, it advances one square diagonally (forward). When a Pawn
reaches the last rank, it must be immediately exchanged for a Queen, Rook, Bishop, or a Knight of
the same colour as the Pawn, at the player's choice. This exchange is called a "promotion". A Pawn
can attack a square crossed by an enemy Pawn which has been advanced two squares in one move
from its original square as though the latter had been moved only one square. This capture may be
made only on the move immediately following such an advance and is called capturing "en passant".
III. HINTS & TIPS
Get a feel for the values of different pieces, which will be useful when making decisions on captures
and exchanges. In general, try to capture the more valuable pieces. Some important principles:
Castle your King into safety as soon as possible.
If you control the centre squares, this will give you the advantage. To do this, move your centre
pawns and develop your Bishops and Knights early in the game.
Take advantage of capture situations, particularly if you will gain material.
Concentrate – don't be caught off guard by your opponent!
