Pawn

The Pawn is the most pieces in the game of chess. While its quantity is large (which is 8 per side), they are also the weakest piece in the game, being the value of only 1. In the set up of chess, the white pawns are set up in the entire row 2 while the black pawns are set up entirely in row 7.

Rules of Pawns

 * The pawn can move forward one or two squares in front of its position at the first time, but once they are already moved, it can only move one square forward.
 * The pawn cannot move forward if there is a piece in front of its path.
 * The pawn can capture diagonally forward if there is a piece that it can capture diagonally forward.
 * The pawn is the only piece in chess that can never move back.
 * Once the pawn reaches at the opposite side of the chessboard, it can be replaced to the other pieces, such as Queen (the most common), Rook, Bishop, or Knight.
