→The Bishop
=====The Bishop=====
Each player has two bishops ( [[File:Video Chess Piece - Black Bishop.png|15px]] [[File:Video Chess Piece - Black Bishop.png|15px]] [[File:Video Chess Piece - White Bishop.png|15px]] [[File:Video Chess Piece - White Bishop.png|15px]]). At the start of the game White's bishops are on C 1 and Fl, Black's on C8 and F8. The bishops move only along the diagonals, but like the queen they can cross as many empty squares as the player wishes.

At the start of the game, White's rooks are on Al and Hl, Black's rooks are on A8 and H8. The rook moves horizontally or vertically, across any number of empty squares. Note that the queen combines the moves of the rook and the bishop - this is why the queen is so very powerful and so valuable.
