The King and the Pawn

The King and the Pawn 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.

l feel sorry for the pawns. They usually get taken first. But l 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.
