Learning Objective

I can identify the different chess pieces and how they move.

  • 1

    At the start of a chess game, each player should have a light-colored square on the bottom right-hand side.

  • 2

    The rook moves in a plus (+) pattern, the bishop moves diagonally, and the queen can move like both the rook and bishop.

  • 3

    The special move where you move the king two squares towards a rook, and then place the rook on the other side of the king, is called castling.
