Either in this country, we're going to talk about the --'s and how they move forward, we're going
to talk about how they capture in a separate lecture, I like to keep things separate in this course.
So this is just how pawns move forward when pawns are in their initial position.
That second row or if you're playing black, it won't be a number to that.
Number seven is your second row when the pawns are in a default position.
You have the option of either moving a pawn one square.
Like that, or you could move a pawn two squares.
So so you move a pawn to squash, the opponent has an option of moving a pawn, one square, for example,
like that or like that or two squares.
So this is how they move forward.
I'm not going into capturers just yet.
So say here, here.
Now, when the pawn is not in the default position, you lose that supercharging superhero facility.
You lose that.
You can only, unfortunately, move.
Unfortunately, it depends on how you look at that move one square now.
So, for example, hand just one square.
This poll can with one square,
one square.
So it's only on that when there in the initial row they can actually move two squares.
And in general, by the way, when you start off the game, you should really be playing this move or
this move.
A pawn in the center is the most recommend.
This this is the most recommendable start moving pawn.
So generally you want to move on two squares and you'll notice it kind of opens up the pieces, which
we're going to illustrate later.
It opens up the bishop, opens up the queen.
So generally pawns, they move forward and they get obstructed.
There are unlike the other pieces, pawns actually can be blockaded or obstructed.
So that's a special kind of feature, really, just to demonstrate that if is sex, I'm not using the
notation E for ESX.
You see that --'s only says it's a notation.
So we go E 535, the pawn is obstructed.
Now, you know, we can't really we can't take that pawn in front.
We're actually blocked in by that pawn restraints.
This pawn is restrained, so.
Let's, you know, carry this on, OK?
This is how the night moves in l shape.
Okay, let's not carry on.
Let's just have a look at another example.
So here, here, here, here.
Let's just go like this, like this, and no longer we can move that point forward and no longer this
point can move forward either.
If we do a move like an open move, this point can't move forward, nor can this both pawns can do captures
by this point.
I mean, this pawn can be captured, though, but we're going to look at that in a separate video for
the moment.
Just just take note that in the initial possession of the pawns, they can actually they've got a superhero
status in their initial positions.
They can actually move two squares, two squares.
But, you know, after that they lose that superhero status can only move one square, one square,
and also they can be obstructed.
That pawn can't move now, can't move because it's obstructed.
So just bear that in mind.
This is how pawns in general move forward until they are obstructed.
So let's just reinforce again, OK?
So if we play this, this, we can't go there, it's obstructed.
We could move with all the --, they could move without --.
We can move forward here.
But if they move here, we can't move forward.
We're obstructed.
So just bear that in mind for this particular election.
So just to recap, in summary, so I'm trying to keep these very separate, you know, videos.
What we're looking at here is how pawns in general move forward until they are blocked or obstructed
and then they can't move forward.
OK, now we'll take the other angles, one angle, our time in separate video.
So bear with me.
I hope this is good.
And we can have a specific quiz on this.
So it's nice to keep things clean and separate and then bring everything all together like nice jigsaw
at the end.
So for this moment and it's lecture pawns move forward until they're obstructed and in a special case
of their staro, they can actually move to squares as well as the one square as an option only in that
special case in their start.
Right.
OK, thanks so much.
