| The pawn moves straight ahead (never backward), but it captures diagonally. It moves one square at a time, but on
it's first move it has the option of moving forward one or two squares. If the pawn makes it to the other side of the board, it is
immediately promoted to another, usually a Queen. It may not remain a pawn or become a King. Therefore it is possible to have more than one Queen
or two Rooks, or two Knights or two Bishops on the board.
