An interesting question about whether chess pieces can move backward that gets asked more often than it would seem possible than it should. If you do not know how every chess piece can move, this is a fundamental aspect of learning chess as a beginner. I recommend taking a look at my page on how every chess piece can move as a starting point but in answer to the question…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every chess piece can move backward with the exception of the Pawn. Each piece of material in chess that can move backward remains limited to the individual rules of movement. A pawn can only move backward once being promoted at the other side of the board and promoted to another piece.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n …….<\/strong>but then it is not a pawn anymore, so it doesn’t count<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is little to expand upon in terms of the answer for this post, so now you know the answer I would suggest taking a little time to look at these two articles, on Chess pieces, and Pawn promotion<\/a> to understand everything that has been said already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every chess player should know the fundamental rules of forward and backward move abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
