Re: [Audyssey] BG ches challenge help
I knew I forgot something. (grin) The pawns move straight ahead either 1 or 2 spaces on their first move, and one square forward after that, even if they only moved once on their first move. They capture by moving one square diagonally. There is a move, called "en passant", that can only be done on the first opportunity that comes up for the pawn making the capture. If you have a white pawn on b2, and it has not been moved yet, and your opponent moves a black pawn to c2, right beside your pawn, you can capture it as if it had been moved to c3. This would also apply if the enemy pawn had moved to A2. You would capture it as if it had moved to A3. Only pawns can be captured en passant. If a pawn reaches the opposite end of it's column, let's say B8 for white or D1 for black, it can be exchanged for any other piece, other than a king, regardless of whether you have any of those pieces or not still in play. It can be exchanged for a queen even though you still have your queen, now giving you 2 queens. In some cases, in order to checkmate your opponent, you might exchange it for a knight, bishop, or rook. --- Laughter is the best medicine, so look around, find a dose and take it to heart. - Original Message - From: "Shiny protector" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 10:40 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] BG ches challenge help Hi, I don't have any information on the pawns. - Original Message - From: "Charles Rivard" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2011 9:30 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] BG ches challenge help It might seem confusing, but I'll take a stab at it. Setting up the board: The board is positioned with a white square in the bottom right corner. If you're using a board and men made for the blind, the lowered squares are white, as are the unmarked pieces. Set the rooks on either corner. Set the knights next to them, the bishops next to the knights, your queen on the same color as your queen, and the king next to her. The 8 pawns occupy the second row from you. Your opponent's army is set identically. Notice that the queens, when set correctly, face each other, the white queen on a white square and the black queen on a black square. Movement of the pieces: Rooks can move straight forward, backward, or to either side. They can not jump other pieces, and capture by taking over the square now occupied by an opponent's piece. This is where they would stop. The bishops can move only along the 4 diagonals, having the same range as the rooks, and capturing in the same manner. Note that at the start of the game, you have a bishop on a white square and one on a black square. They will always stay on the same colored square. The queen moves and captures as either a rook or a bishop. In other words, diagonally, vertically, or horizontally, in all directions as far as they can go. The queen is the most powerful piece on the board. The King moves one square in any direction and captures in the same manner. The only special move it can make is called castling. In this move, it moves to the next square of the same color along the original row it occupies at the start of the game. In other words, it moves two squares to your left or right. As part of the same move, the rook toward which it moves is also moved, into the square jumped by the king. This move can only be made if there is no piece between the king and the rook toward which it is moving, neither your king or rook has been moved, and neither square crossed by the king is being attacked, and the king is not being attacked before or after it has been moved. The knight is the only piece on the board that can jump over other pieces. It moves rather oddly. It moves one square vertically or horizontally, as well as one square diagonally in relation to the direction of the first part of the move. For example, one square north and one square northeast or northwest. One square south and one southeast or southwest. One square west and one northwest or southwest. Or one square east and one northeast or southeast. Check: When your king is being attacked, you must immediately remedy the situation by either moving your king out of danger, moving a piece between your king and the attacking piece, or capturing the attacker. Note that because a knight can jump over friendly or enemy pieces, a piece cannot be moved between an attacking knight and your king. It is illegal for you to move into a check situation. Checkmate is when you are in check and there is nothing you can do to prevent your king from being captured on the next move. At this stage, the game ends. Square identification is simple.

Re: [Audyssey] BG ches challenge help
Hi Shiny protector, Pawns move one space forward at a time. They capture diagonally. Ok except for their first move, they can move two spaces forward. That is a first move may be, I will move my pawn e2 to e4. That is the pawn in front of the king moves up two spaces. However a pawn can not move up two spaces to avoid being captured. Well it can, but it can still be captured as if it, had only moved one space. And now if you get a pawn all of the way across the board to your opponents king row, it can become any piece that you wish. Normally a queen. Well I guess not any piece as you can not have two kings.

Re: [Audyssey] BG ches challenge help
Hi Charles, You said, The knight is the only piece on the board that can jump over other pieces. It moves rather oddly. It moves one square vertically or horizontally, as well as one square diagonally in relation to the direction of the first part of the move. For example, one square north and one square northeast or northwest. One square south and one southeast or southwest. One square west and one northwest or southwest. Or one square east and one northeast or southeast. But actually the knight moves in an L shape. That is up two and over one, or up one and over two, or back one and over two, or back two and over one. Well ok, now that I reread your way of saying it, I guess that it is the same. Just didn't sound correct at first. And chess is spelled chess, not ches.
