Question

2. What do the pieces in chess represent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If you do not protect your king, you lose the game. The next time you set up your chessboard and get ready to play a friendly game or two, think of chess as a history lesson. The pieces on the board represent a way of life that is no more, and the real life dramas that occurred in medieval times are now only a game.

Answer 2

Each side starts with 16 pieces: eight pawns, two bishops, two knights, two rooks, one queen, and one king.

____________________________________________

Bishops: Bishops can move any number of squares diagonally.

Knights: Knights can move only in an L-shape, one square up and two over, or two squares over and one down, or any such combination of one-two or two-one movements in any direction.

Rooks: Rooks can move any number of squares, up and down and side to side.
