Explanation:
Pawn chess pieces can only directly forward one square, with two exceptions. Pawns can move directly forward two squares on their first move only. Pawns can move diagonally forward when capturing an opponent's chess piece.
In their first move, each pawn has the option to move forward one space or two spaces. After this move, they can only move one space forward. However, they are also the only chess piece that captures in a method different from how they move. To capture, the Pawn moves diagonally one space
The knight moves unconventionally compared to other chess pieces. Whereas other pieces move in straight lines, knights move in an “L-shape”—that is, they can move two squares in any direction vertically followed by one square horizontally, or two squares in any direction horizontally followed by one square vertically.
Bishops move diagonally any number of squares. They are unable to jump over pieces. Knights move in an 'L' shape': two squares in a horizontal or vertical direction, then move one square horizontally or vertically.
Initially its only move was one square diagonally. Around 1300 its move was enhanced to allow it to jump two squares diagonally (onto a same-colored square) for its first move. The fers changed into the queen over time.
one square
A king can move one square in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), unless the square is already occupied by a friendly piece, or the move would place the king in check.
if your king is dead then you loose
