A pawn may pass another pawn if there is some tactical or strategical advantage to do so - this is an option exercised at the discretion of the player(s). It only becomes a passed pawn if it has no more enemy pawns to pass by.

It moves the same, but cannot castle again.

Say white gets their pawn to the other side. They upgrade it to a queen. It is now black's turn. White can't move their new queen right after upgrading without black's turn going by.

The belief is that the game is incongruous with religious doctrine. This applies to many recreational games.

There are amusements, such as dancing, card playing, chess, checkers, etc., which we cannot approve because Heaven condemns them. These amusements open the door for great evil. They are not beneficial in their tendency, but have an exciting influence, producing in some minds a passion for those plays which lead to gambling and dissipation. All such plays should be condemned by Christians, and something perfectly harmless should be substituted in their place.

When a pawn reaches the other side of the board, you may choose to promote it to any piece, other than a king or a pawn. When a pawn is promoted, the new piece is located at the square it was moved to.

(e.g. if you move to e7e8 then the new piece will be located at e8)

The answer is 36^2...

Any and every pawn which has been promoted to a Queen will , of course , have the selfsame original powers of movement as that of the Queen .

Each bishop in chess can only move diagonally. One can traverse only on white squares the other one only on black squares. The bishop piece can also be used to block the opponent, such as facing a pawn.

it depends what the other player does The question as posed cannot be answered because there are too many variables to the game to even suggest that there is any such thing as a "best move." White might feel more comfortable playing a closed game beginning with moving the king's pawn two spaces. Other players prefer moving their queen's pawn two spaces as a first move. Still others may prefer to move one or another knight's one space in order to move the bishop to the vacated square in order to try to control the center of the board by attacking the central squares rather than by occupying them as with the king pawn and queen pawn moves. Still other players as White might prefer an Indian opening such as king's knight to square f3. White will choose its first move based on its preference in playing a particular style of game as well as by judging the type of game the player of the black pieces is weakest at. There is no such thing as the best move for White. Since White has several options for its initial move, there are even more alternatives for the first move by Black. Depending on White's first move, Black will play any one of a variety of defenses, such as the Sicilian, the French, the Caro Kann, Alekhine's and many other known defenses. Black also will choose a defense it is most comfortable with or which he/she feels would be best against the style the other player employs. Thus, no matter which of several moves White makes, there is no "best move" for Black. Once the particular openings have taken shape the battle on the board will become one where no set line of moves can even be predicted, much less deemed "best." In the middlegame, some players like to gamble and sacrifice pieces in order to gain advantages in tempo, development and attacking opportunities Others prefer to play more conservatively almost waiting for the other player to make the first mistake. So there is no such thing as a line of "best moves" that either player may follow to an inevitable win or draw. To be sure there are certain moves that are better than others, but none that are "best." If there were, chess would not even be a game.

you get them in check and they cant block, move, ortake the piece that is forcing you in check

no

The pawn can checkmate the king but only in conjunction with at least one other piece to protect the pawn from capture by the king and at least one enemy piece placed near the king so that it cuts off any escape avenues the king would have. If a pawn places a king in check and the king is completely surrounded by his own pieces in such a way that its only move would be capture the pawn and if no enemy piece is placed so that it can capture that pawn and if the pawn is protected from capture by one of its own pieces, the pawn has checkmated the king.

As many as possible.

If one of your pawns reaches your opponent's piece's row, you can choose to promote your pawn into a queen (or another piece such as a rook, etc). You can have more than one promoted piece, two or more queens, etc.

For White at the start of the game:

a1 = rook

b1 = knight

c1 = bishop

d1 = queen

e1 = king

f1 = bishop

g1 = knight

h1 = rook

a2 - h2 = 8 pawns

For Black at the start of the game:

a8 = rook

b8 = knight

c8 = bishop

d8 = queen

e8 = king

f8 = bishop

g8 = knight

h8 = rook

a7-h7 = 8 pawns

The four move checkmate, also known as the "Scholar's Mate" is a very unsound opening. Because it doesn't follow the general rule "never take your queen out too early" or you will lose too much tempo at the beginning.

The move sequence is: 1. e2e4, e7e5 2. qh5 (or qf3) nc6 3. bc4, d7d6 and finally, 4. qxf7#.

There are many different notations for this opening, but white will always be targeting f7 with a queen and a bishop in the Scholar's Mate.

1. f3 e5 2. g4 Qh4+ (checkmate) .
