Pawn

The lowest valued chess piece that is worth one point. A pawn moves one square forwards, but can move two if it is on its second rank and has not moved yet. It captures other pieces in a forward diagonal way. When it reaches its eight rank, it can be promoted to any piece except another pawn, or a King.
