The pieces are set up in the same initial configuration at the start of the game. The white pieces are placed on ranks 1 and 2, and the black pieces are placed on ranks 7 and 8. Piece Movement: Each type of chess piece has its own movement rules: King: Moves one square in any direction. Queen: Moves any number of squares in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). Rook: Moves any number of squares, but only horizontally or vertically. Bishop: Moves diagonally any number of squares. Knight: Moves in an "L" shape (two squares in one direction and one square perpendicular). Pawn: Moves one square forward but captures diagonally. On its first move, a pawn can move two squares forward. Special Moves: Castling: A special move involving the king and one of the rooks, which allows the king to move two squares toward the rook and the rook to jump over the king. This move can only happen under specific conditions. En Passant: A pawn capturing move that can occur when a pawn moves two squares forward from its starting position and lands next to an opponent’s pawn. The opponent can capture the pawn as if it had moved only one square forward. Pawn Promotion: When a pawn reaches the opposite end of the board (the 8th rank for white and 1st rank for black), it can be promoted to any piece (queen, rook, bishop, or knight).
