The Bishop and Knight, in contradistinction to the Queen and Rook, are called Minor Pieces.

When neither party can give checkmate, the game is drawn

The game of chess is the most fascinating and intellectual pastime which the wisdom of antiquity has bequeathed to us.

For playing a man to a square to which it cannot be legally moved, the adversary, at his option, may require him to move the man legally, or to move the King.

It is the duty of the Umpire to determine all questions submitted to him according to these laws, when they apply, and according to his best judgment when they do not apply.

The Pawn moves only one square at a time, and that straight forward, except in the act of capturing, when it takes one step diagonally to the right or left file on to the square occupied by the man taken, and continues on that file until it captures another man.
