Pieces
 MOZARAB CHESS PIECES
known as the pieces of Saint
Genadio, may be as old as
the beginning of the 10th
century. The four small
pieces were made of ivory
and preserved in the
Mozarabic monastery in
Leon, Spain.

different chess sets. The
Isle of Lewis chess sets
contains the oldest known
ecclesiastical bishop.

the rules of chess, this
style is to be used for
competitions until now.

● The Rook can move any

QUANTITY:8 White - 8
Black

SPECIFICATIONS:

● It moves one square at a time,

but on its first move it has the
option of moving forward one
or two squares.
 EN PASSANT
French basically means “in passing”. If a
pawn advances two squares on its first
move, and lands to the side of an opponent’s
pawn (effectively jumping past the other
pawn’s ability to capture it), that other pawn
has the option of capturing the first pawn as
it passes by. This special move must be done
immediately after the first pawn has moved
past, otherwise that option is forfeited.
 PROMOTION
Pawns have another special ability and that
is that if a pawn reaches the other side of the
board it can become any other chess piece
except the king. A pawn may be exchanged
to a queen, rook, bishop or a knight. Pawns
exchange is not restricted to a piece that has
been captured. Only pawns may be
promoted.
OTHER
TERMINOLOGI
ES
 Castling
Castling is a special move
that lets a player move two
pieces at once -the King
and one 2 Rook. In castling,
the player moves his King
two squares either to its left
or right toward one of his
Rooks.
 Castling
In order to castle, however, it
must meet the following
conditions:
 it must be that king’s very first
move
 it must be that rook’s very first
move
 there cannot be any pieces
between the king and rook to move
 the king may not be in check or
Check & Checkmate
The purpose of the game is to
checkmate the opponent’s king.
Checkmate occurs if the king is
checked and cannot get out of check.
If a king is checked, he can get out in
by moving out of the way, blocking
the check with another piece, or
capturing the piece threatening the
king. If a king has no possible move
to escape, then the game is over.
In the picture, White moves his Rook
and checkmates the black King.
