Let's talk about chess!

Well start with the most important piece : the King. The goal of the game is to capture your opponent's king. Well, technically, the game ends and you win just before that happens. ^^ Now, being the most important piece, it kinda sucks how it can only move one space at a time in any direction. Think about it, when our president travels, it's slowly and with many precautions, right? Well, except for castling, where you move the king two spaces left or right and move the rook on that side as long as neither piece has been moved and no pieces are in their ways.

Next, we have our lovely Queen! We all love this piece. I mean, it can move in any direction in wants as far as it wants! Nuff said.

And we had the Rook! Formerly called castle. Hey, it looks like those little towers on the corners of a castle! You know those, where you can imagine someone keeping watch of invader? Anyways... it can move as many spaces vertically or horizontally on the board.

Then, there's the Bishop. Pronounced bis-hop according to Tigger! It looks like that middle tower in the Disney castle! It can move diagonally as many spaces as it wants.

Remember, rooks straight, bishop gay.

Yeah... okay! Following... drum roll please! It's our knight in dull armor! Yeah, it's that little horsey! It moves 3 spaces vertically and 2 spaces horizontally, or vice versa. And guess what? It can move through pieces in the way! Well, duh! It's a horse!

Last, we have our cute little Pawns. They can only move one space forward at a time, with the exception of the first move, where it can move two. Though, it captures diagonally, unlike the rest of the pieces... Yeah, these suck, until they reach the other side of the board, where they get promoted! You can choose any piece to promote it except for the king and another pawn. And it doesn't matter how many of that piece you have already.

There's 8 pawns in all, meaning you can have up to 9(including original) queens! That's when you know, you're pimpin'!
