There are eight pawns which are the smallest players, two Rooks, knights and bishops and last of all one of each Queen and King.
The pawns can move upwards and take other players on a diagonal. The Rooks can't move on a diagonal, only straight but as many squares as they want. The Knight goes on in an "L" shape, the Bishop however can ONLY go on a diagonal. The King can go all directions, but can only move one square at a time. The Queen is quite powerful because she can go all directions and as MANY squares as she wants.
Guess which player is which!

I had never played chess before I taught a few days at Enrich last year. I really enjoyed learning and some of the children were very good teachers! Your blog is very informative Pearl. Good luck with your next game :-)
