(Taking is not compulsory. ) At the start of the game, the position of the pieces is as follows. Thus, at the second row, there are eight white pawns, at the seventh row, there are eight black pawns. At the first row, from left to right, we have a: rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, and rook. Note that the queens start of squares of their own color, with a dark square in each players left hand corner. Movement of the pieces Rook The rook moves in a straight line, horizontally or vertically. The rook may not jump over other pieces, that is: all squares between the square where the rook starts its move and where the rook ends its move must be empty. (As for all pieces, when the square where the rook ends his move contains a piece of the opponent, then this piece is taken. The square where the rook ends his move may not contain a piece of the player owning this rook. ) Bishop The bishop moves in a straight diagonal line. The bishop may also not jump over other pieces. © 2002 Escalade Sports 18 For Customer Service Call 1-866-556-2759 Queen The queen has the combined moves of the rook and the bishop, i. e. , the queen may move in any straight line, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Knight The knight makes a move that consists of first one step in a horizontal or vertical direction, and then one step diagonally in an outward direction. The knight jumps: it is allowed that the first square that the knight passes over is occupied by an arbitrary piece. For instance, white can start the game by moving his knight from b1 to c3. The piece that is jumped over is further not affected by the knight: as usual, a knight takes a piece of the opponent by moving to the square that contains that piece. Pawn The pawn moves differently regarding whether it moves to an empty square or whether it takes a piece of the opponent. When this pawn has not moved at all, i. e. , the pawn is still at the second row (from the owning players view), the pawn may make a double step straight forward. When a pawn makes a double step from the second row to the fourth row, and there is an enemy pawn on an adjacent square on the fourth row, then this enemy pawn inthe next move may move diagonally to the square that was passed over by the double-stepping pawn, which is on the third row. This taking en-passant must be done directly: if the player who could take enpassant does not do this in the first move after the double step, this pawn cannot be taken anymore by an en-passant move. When a player moves a pawn to the last row of the board, he replaces the pawn by a queen, rook, knight, or bishop (of the same color). Usually, players will promote the pawn to a queen, but the other types of pieces are also allowed. Thus, it is for instance possible that a player has at a certain moment two queens. ) King The king moves one square in any direction, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. There is one special type of move, made by a king and rook simultaneously, called castling: see below. [. . . ] Legal Point It is legal to hit the ball around the side of the net to land the ball on your opponent's side. BOWLING Game - Definition A game of American ten pins consists of ten frames. A player delivers two balls in each of the first nine frames unless a strike is scored. In the tenth frame, a player delivers three balls if a strike or spare is scored. Every frame must be completed by each player bowling in regular order. © 2002 Escalade Sports 27 For Customer Service Call 1-866-556-2759 Game - How Scored - Rule 1 Except when a strike is scored, the number of pins knocked down by the player's first delivery is to be marked next to the small square in the upper right hand corner of that frame, and the number of pins knocked down by the player's second delivery is to be marked inside the small square.
