Session # 2
INTRODUCTION OF THE PIECES : ROOK, BISHOP, QUEEN AND KING

The rook can either move up or down, or to the left or right, and for as many squares that there is available. It can capture enemy pieces that stands in its way. It cannot jump over other pieces.
The bishop moves diagonally, always staying on the same colored squares, and for as many squares that there is available. It can capture enemy pieces that stands in its way. It cannot jump over other pieces.
The queen moves like the rook or like the bishop, it has the choice.
The king moves like the queen, but only one square at a time.

When you capture an ennemy piece in chess, you take it's square.
