====Capturing====

+

All pieces except for the pawn capture along their lines of motion - if a piece could move to occupy the location of an opponent's piece, it can capture that piece. The only piece that does not attack along lines of motion is the '''pawn''', which can only capture by moving diagonally forward one square. A piece is said to be undefended if it has no piece "supporting" its position - i.e., preventing an opponent from capturing it by threat of losing his attacking piece.

==Gameplay ==

−

All pieces attack each other along their lines of motion - if a piece could move to occupy the location of another piece, it can therefore be taken. The only piece that does not attack along lines of motion is the '''pawn''', which can only attack diagonally by one square. A piece is said to be undefended if it has no piece "supporting" its position - i.e., preventing an opponent from taking it by threat of losing his attacking piece.

The goal of the game is to protect your own '''King''' while attacking your opponent's. Every time the King is under direct '''threat''' from another piece - queen, bishop, et al, the King is said to be under '''check.''' When a player is in check, the King must be protected - no move that fails to remedy the check is acceptable.
