 The Pawn
|
The Queen is the most powerful piece of all the chessmen. It can move in any direction any amount of squares as long as no other piece blocks its path (the Queen cannot leap over any pieces). The Queen captures the same way it moves. When it captures an enemy piece it displaces that piece (occupies the square of the captured piece). In this example White's Queen has 27 possible moves, indicated by dots.
