European Social Class and Chess
By Chris Leonard
King
• The centerpiece of the game and the only chess piece that cannot be captured. The King moves one square in any direction. Because the King must be carefully guarded against checkmate, the King is rarely used as a fighting piece until the last stages of the game.beta.uschess.org/frontend/section_12.php
Queen
• The most valuable piece in chess, which can move on diagonals (like bishops) and in straight lines (like the rooks). In Medieval Europe, the queen was the weakest piece on the board, and her sudden change in powers in the 16th century quickened the pace of the game. ...beta.uschess.org/frontend/section_12.php

Pawn
• The pawn () is the weakest and most numerous piece in the game of chess, representing infantry, or more particularly pikemen. Each player begins the game with eight pawns, one on each square of the second rank from the view of the player. ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pawn (chess)
