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.

国王和小兵 我喜欢下棋。这很难，但也很有趣。目标是吃掉对方的棋子，直到抓到对方的王。 这些棋子在一个有彩色方块的大棋盘上移动。 有许多棋子:一个国王和一个王后，两个主教，两个骑士和两个车。所有这些棋子都可以朝着特定的方向跳跃。 还有8个兵。通常情况下，他们一次只能移动一格。 小兵并不是最强大的棋子。但是，他们可以保护更大更重要的棋子。

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.

我为这些小兵感到难过。他们通常会先被干掉。但我也看到过一个兵成为最后一个保卫国王的棋子。 就像在现实生活中一样，你不需要变得强大和有影响力。
