Section [2]: Piece movement
>>> | A man moves one square forward along a line, provided it is vacant. If a man reaches the back rank, it is promoted to king. This marks the end of the move. A king moves any distance along an open line as shown. |
Diagram 2
Diagram 2 shows a white man and a black man both making several moves before promoting to king, and the kings making a few moves thereafter. No piece is moved to a position where the other piece must capture.
