Session # 3
INTRODUCTION OF THE PIECES : PAWN AND KNIGHT


- With the exception of when he is on his initial square, where it can move up two squares, the pawn can only move one square at a time, strait up and it cannot move backwards. It can capture enemy pieces that are diagonally in front of him and on the immediate rank after him. Another interesting characteristic of the pawn is that if we move it up to the last rank, we can change it in any other pieces except the king. The pawn cannot jump over any pieces.

The knight, moves two squares to the left or right, up or down, and then moves one square in an opposing way. The knight is the only piece that can jump over other pieces. It only captures enemy pieces that are on the square where the knight finishes its movement.




At the end of every session, we recommend pracicing and / or doing some chess puzzles. This site has chess puzzles and also a chess forum so you can chat with other players. http://www.chessnerds.com
