What is a "pawn"?
A pawn is the simplest and smallest piece in chess, but it plays an important role. It moves forward one square at a time, but on its first move, it has the option to move two squares. Pawns capture other pieces diagonally, one square forward to the left or right. When a pawn reaches the opponent's back row, it can be promoted to any other piece, except the king, typically a queen. Pawns are often used to control space on the board and to protect more valuable pieces. Because of their limited movement, pawns are often considered less powerful than other pieces, but they can become strong when promoted.
