Move the white queen from pawn to pawn. Every move must capture a black pawn.
If you make a non-capturing move, you lose. Capture all eight pawns to win.
How the Queen Works
The Queen is the most powerful piece in chess. Each player
starts with one Queen. White's Queen starts on the light
square at d1 and Black's Queen starts on the dark square at d8.
Moving
Queens move an attack in the same manner. They can move like
either a Rook or a Bishop in turn but they cannot combine the
two on one move. They also cannot move like a Knight. So,
Queens may move along straight lines; vertically, horizontally,
or diagonally as far as the player wants until it strikes another
piece. Queens cannot jump over other pieces, they stop when
they capture, and they cannot change direction mid-move.
Multiple Queens
A promoted pawn usually becomes a Queen because she is the most powerful
piece. Adding a Queen to the board can be a decisive advantage. Just
be careful that her power doesn't create a situation where your opponent
has the turn and is safe where he is but has no legal moves. That would
be a stalemate and is a draw.
Remembering the Start
The King and Queen locations can be difficult for new players to remember.
Just remember first that when setting up the board you need a light square
at your right hand "light on right" no matter what color you're playing.
From there the Queen and King will occupy the center two squares on the rank
closest to the player. The Queen sits on her own color (the dress matches
the shoes as they say) and the King sits on his opposite color.
Piece Value
The Queen is valued at 9 pawns.
