“That’s Correct!”
“They are the front liners on the chess board.
They usually move 1 square at a time except
when it still on the second row of the board.
The pawn can move 1 or 2 squares.
That move is called the ‘FIRST MOVE
OPTION’ (FMO). Understand class?”
Group 2 (KNIGHT)

original position and a square to its opposite
colour.”

its contrasting color mostly black and green”
“Sir, the vertical rows of squares are known as
Files"

“The diagonal rows are known as Diagonals”
“None sir!”
“The pawn can only move forward. It never
moves sideways or backwards. It only moves
diagonally forward when it captures.”

“The Knights movement on the board is similar
to the letter ‘L’. It moves two square vertically
and one square horizontally”

the rook and the bishop. It is considered as
the most powerful piece.”
Group 6 (KING)
“Very good!”
