Pawn peculiarities-
Castling--A King that has not moved before can move two squares in the direction of a Rook that has not moved before, -in which case that Rook is moved to the square the King skipped over. -This is only allowed if all squares between King and Rook are empty, -when the King is not in check on the square it came from, -and would not be in check on any of the squares it skipped over. - -General rules-
XBoard interface issues--When a Pawn can be promoted, XBoard first advances it as a Pawn to the promotion square. -Then it waits for you to complete the move entry by clicking on the piece in the holdings beside the board that you want to promote to. -You can use the New Shuffle dialog to control the randomization of the initial position. - -Differences with FIDE--The start position contains four unorthodox pieces. -Promotion only to pieces that were captured before (or substituted). - -Strategy issues--It is not possible to force checkmate on a bare King with just a single Bishop or Knight (in addition to your own King). -Two Knights cannot do that either. - --Bishops are confined to squares of a single color. -Having Bishops on both colors compensates this weakness, and is worth an extra 0.5 on top of their added value. - -- -- -- -- -- + | + + | + + | + + | + + | + + | + + | + + | + + | + | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A King that has not moved before can move two squares in the + direction of a Rook that has not moved before, in which case that + Rook is moved to the square the King skipped over. This is only + allowed if all squares between King and Rook are empty, when the + King is not in check on the square it came from, and would not be + in check on any of the squares it skipped over.
+ +When a Pawn can be promoted, XBoard first advances it as a + Pawn to the promotion square. Then it waits for you to complete + the move entry by clicking on the piece in the holdings beside + the board that you want to promote to. You can use the New + Shuffle dialog to control the randomization of the initial + position.
+ +The start position contains four unorthodox pieces. Promotion + only to pieces that were captured before (or substituted).
+ +It is not possible to force checkmate on a bare King with just + a single Bishop or Knight (in addition to your own King). Two + Knights cannot do that either.
+ +Bishops are confined to squares of a single color. Having + Bishops on both colors compensates this weakness, and is worth an + extra 0.5 on top of their added value.
