Week 1 · Lesson 5 of 20 · About 15 minutes

The pawn

The smallest piece, with the most rules: forward to move, diagonal to take, and a queen at the end. You'll be able to: push, capture and promote.

Arrow keys move between squares; up is towards your opponent. Enter or Space picks a piece up and puts it down. Escape puts it back.

Step 1 of 5

Pawns move straight forward, one square at a time. From its starting square, a pawn may go two.

Push the pawn two squares.
