    There is not a specific name set for them all together. Some people often call them Chess figures and other call them chess pieces.

    Pawn:pawns will possibly no longer flow backwards. oftentimes a pawn strikes via advancing a single sq., however the 1st time each pawn is moved from its preliminary place, it has the choice to enhance 2 squares. Pawns will possibly no longer use the preliminary 2-sq. improve to hop over an occupied sq., or to seize. Any piece quickly in front of a pawn, pal or foe, blocks its improve. Knight:can flow 2 squares horizontally and one sq. vertically, or 2 squares vertically and one sq. horizontally. the completed flow subsequently looks like the letter 'L'. in assessment to all different regular chess products, the knight can 'hop over' all different pawns and products of the two colour. Bishop:The bishop has no regulations in distance for each flow, yet is constrained to diagonal strikes. Rook:The rook strikes horizontally or vertically, forward or lower back, by any form of unoccupied squares Queen:The queen could be moved any form of unoccupied squares in a quickly line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. King:strikes one area in any course (maximum severe piece)
