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:
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

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, it is nearly always
chosen as the promotion
piece. Through the promo-
tion process, there may be
more than one queen on the
board at the same time.
