Correct option is B
- In chess, the pawn is one of the most fundamental pieces. Each player starts with eight pawns, which are placed in front of the other pieces. Pawns move forward one square at a time, but capture diagonally.
- The pawn is unique in that it has the option to move two squares forward on its first move. If a pawn reaches the opponent's back rank, it can be promoted to any other piece, typically a queen.
Additional Information
- The game of chess is a strategic board game played between two players, each controlling 16 pieces, including pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, queens, and a king.
- Pawns are often used strategically to control key squares and create opportunities for the more powerful pieces like the queen.
