This video tutorial explains the movement and capture rules for chess pieces: the Rook, Bishop, Queen, Knight, and Pawn. The Rook moves in straight lines, the Bishop diagonally, and the Queen combines both. The Knight moves in an L-shape and can jump over pieces. Pawns move forward but capture diagonally and can be promoted upon reaching the last rank.
