In the process, Player One’s Pawn is captured and removed from the board.\u003Cbr>|  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| CONTENTS |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | PAWN\u003Cbr>The Pawn moves straight ahead one square at a time (except when it captures an opposing piece), never backward; however, on each Pawn’s first move of the game you can choose to move it two spaces instead of just one.\u003Cbr>Pawns only capture by making a diagonal move forward, one square to the right or left (the crossed wands on the diagram indicate the squares in which a Pawn can capture opposing pieces).\u003Cbr>If your Pawn crosses the entire\u003Cbr>board and reaches your opponent’s back row, the Pawn is immediately “promoted”to the rank of any other piece except a King. This means you may have more than one Queen, two Rooks, two Knights, or two Bishops on the board at one time.\u003Cbr>HINT: Choose to make your Pawn a Queen, the most powerful piece in the game!\u003Cbr>SPECIAL MOVES!\u003Cbr>Castling\u003Cbr>In order to protect their Kings, both players may “castle”once during a game. This maneuver allows you to move two pieces at once. Move your King two squares right or left toward one of your Rooks, then place that Rook in the square on the opposite side of the King (nearest the center of the row).\u003Cbr>Castling may only be performed if certain conditions are met:\u003Cbr>This must be the first move of the game for both the King and the Rook.\u003Cbr>There can be no other piece(s) between the King and the Rook.

A player whose King is in check must escape immediately by performing one of the following:\u003Cbr>A. Move the King to a square that is not threatened by any opposing pieces.\u003Cbr>B.
