A pawn is a chess piece that moves exclusively forward. The first move of each pawn can be either one or two squares, while the rest moves only one. Attack - only diagonally one square.
A knight is a chess piece that moves with the letter "L" in any direction. He attacks in the same way as he walks. It should be noted that the knight is the only piece in this exciting game that can "jump" over other pieces.
The bishop is a chess piece that can move only diagonally, and on any number of squares. It attacks in the same way as it walks.
A rook is a chess piece that can only move vertically or horizontally to any number of squares. It attacks in the same way as it walks.
A queen is a chess piece that combines the capabilities of a rook and a bishop, that is, it can move vertically, horizontally, and diagonally to any number of squares. The most active piece on the "field".
The king is a sedentary chess piece that can move and attack in any direction, but only one square. It is worth remembering that the king cannot attack if the opponent's piece is protected by other pieces.
