Special Moves

1. Castling is a move of both the King and either Rook which counts as a single move (of the King) and is executed as dia- grammed below:

Castling cannot occur if: a) the King has already been

moved.

b) the Rook has already been moved.

c) there is any piece between the King and the Rook.

3. A Pawn can be promoted if it advances all the way to the far side of the board. It is immedi- ately promoted, as part of the same move, into a Queen, Rook, Bishop, or Knight, whichever its owner chooses.

Since a Queen is the most powerful piece, it is nearly always chosen as the promotion piece. Through the promotion process, there may be more than

one Queen on the board at the same time.
