3. A Pawn can be promoted if it advances
all the way to the far side of the board. It
is immediately promoted, as part of the
same move, into a Queen, Rook, Bishop,
or Knight, whichever its owner chooses.
Since a Queen is the most powerful piece,
Castling cannot occur if:
a) the King has already been moved.
b) the Rook has already been moved.
c) there is any piece between the King
and the Rook.
d) the King’s original square, or the
square which the King must cross, or the
one which it is to occupy is attacked by
an enemy piece.
2. A Pawn may make an
en passent cap-
ture if it is a reply move to a double pawn
move, and it is a Pawn which is side-by-
side with the Pawn which made the dou-
ble pawn move. The capture of a white
Pawn is diagrammed below:
squares forward. When capturing, it
moves diaganolly (forward) one square.

en passent (below.)
6. The King can move one square in any
direction, as long as it is not attacked by
an enemy piece. See also Castling(below)
Special Moves
1. Castling is a move of both the King
and either Rook which counts as a single
move (of the King) and is executed as
diagrammed below:
same move. The captured piece must be
immediately removed from the chess-
board by the player making the capture.
5. When one player moves into a position
whereby he can attack the King, the King
is in “Check”. His opponent must either
a) move the King
b) block the path of the attacking piece
with another piece, or
c) capture the attacking piece.
6. The game is over when there is no
escape for the King from an attacking
piece. This is known as “Checkmate”.
7. The game is over when the king of the
player whose turn it is to move is not in
check and the player cannot make any
legal moves. This is known as
“Stalemate” and is considered a drawn
game.
