The knight: It's represented by a horse and is the most complicated of the pieces.It can move horizontally or vertically as many spaces as are available. The rook: Sometimes called a "castle" (though rook is more common to avoid confusion with the "castling" move, see below), the rook looks like a small tower.When a pawn reaches the eighth rank (for White) or first rank (for Black) they are "promoted" into another piece (see below). ![]() ![]() The pawn is the only piece that cannot move backwards and is also the only piece that captures in a way that is different from how it normally moves. Pawns capture pieces situated one space diagonally in front. Pawns cannot move forward if they are blocked by an enemy piece nor can they capture pieces directly ahead of them. On its initial move, it can move forward one or two vacant spaces, but it is only allowed to move forward one vacant space afterwards. ![]()
