The white pawn can advance one square or two. In either case the black pawn may capture it, giving the
position on the right.
On reaching the far end of the board, a pawn is “promoted”, i.e.
changed into a queen, rook, bishop or
knight. The player chooses the piece (normally a queen), and places it on the square to which his pawn has
just advanced. The pawn is removed from the board.
8.1.3 Check and checkmate
–
winning the game
A piece is said to be under attack if an enemy piece is in a position to capture it next move. If your
opponent’s last move has placed your
king under
attack, the king is said to be in check. You must
now move out of
check
. A move which leaves (or
puts) your own king under attack is illegal
Here, White is in check from the black rook. He has
3 possible moves: he can move his king into the
corner, place his knight in front of the king, or
capture the rook with his queen.
