Chess piece - Rook
The rook is also called the castle by some and it
actually looks like a castle or at least a castle tower.
The rook, as per chess rules, moves just like the
queen except it can't move diagonally. Just forward,
backward, left, and right but as many spaces as
desired without jumping other chess pieces.
Chess piece - Pawn
The poor little pawns are put out in front right in harms
way while the other guys are hiding back behind. As
per the rules of playing chess, they're expected to
advance out in front and take the brunt of an oncoming
attack or serve as a shield. It seems rather unfair
considering they're pretty defenseless. These chess
piece are allowed to only move one square at at time
by the rules of chess. However, in thier first move, they
can move two squares if they want. They can only
move straight forward - no retreating for these soldiers
according of the chess rules. And they can only
capture one of the enemy by approaching
diagonally. But, according t the chess rules, if one of
these brave little soldiers can make it to the other side,
they are rewarded with a promotion - to a queen!
Some promotion that is!
Chess Board Notation
Those that take chess pretty seriously, actually keep track of all their moves and record entire games. In
order to record moves, someone came up with the smart idea of labeling the columns with letters and the
rows with numbers, thus each square is uniquely identified. As you can see, white has a tremendous
advantage because he or she doesn't have to look at upside-down numbers and read the alphabet
backwards. One of the more important reasons to be the white or light chess players side.
