The King and the Pawn
I love chess. It is hard, but it is also fun. The goal is to take the other person's pieces until you capture their king.
These pieces move on a big board that has coloured squares on it.
There are many pieces: a king and a queen, two bishops, two knights, and two rooks. All these pieces can jump in specific directions.
There are also eight pawns. Usually, they can move only one square at a time.
Pawns are not the most powerful pieces. But, they can protect the bigger and more important players.
I feel sorry for the pawns. They usually get taken first. But I have also seen a pawn become the last player left to defend the king.
Just like in real life, you don't have to be big and powerful to make a difference.
