Hello! My name is John. In this video I will continue talking about the movements of the pieces in a heart chess. I will start with a knight. It moves 2 squares horizontally or vertically then another square. I’d like to show it with pegs. Pay attention. Its movement is like capital L shape. In this position it may capture the pawn. In initial position the knight may move here or here. It can jump over other pieces. So therefore it can move here. <br />Next piece is a bomb. It moves exactly the same with a knight. That is “L” shape. In this position it can move to these four squares. “L” shape. (For example, here it may move to one of these four squares. So a bomb and knight movement is like capital L shape. Both of them can jump over other pieces.) What is the difference between a bomb and a knight? The first difference is that bomb explodes when it attacks or it is attacked. Let’s say, in this position it may capture the pawn. But at the same time, it also dies. Or bishop may attack the bomb and they both disappear from the board. This is the first difference. The next difference is king cannot capture the bomb, but it can capture the knight. <br />Tiger can move two squares to any directions. For example, in this position its possible movement is 24 squares. It may also jump over other pieces like a bomb and knight. So in this position it may move either here or here. I want to show it. Besides that tiger can checkmate the king on its own. Let’s say the king is here. And the knight is here. Here tiger can checkmate the king in one move. That is it moves here, attacks the king. Possible movements of the king are these spaces but they are all attacked by a tiger. These pieces block the king’s movement. So in this position it is a checkmate. ( it can also jump over other pieces. For example, in this position it may move to one these three spaces. In this space it covers 24 squares. 8 and 16 total 24. It can checkmate the king on its own. For example, it checkmates the king in one move. It attacks the king and the king has nowhere to go. ) <br />This is a heart. Heart cannot be captured and it cannot move on its own. It can move by exchanging its position with a friendly piece except a king and a pawn. It means in this position heart may come here and the rook goes to heart’s space. Or let’s say bomb, knight, tiger, queen and bishop. They may also exchange (its)their position with a heart. There is a special rule for a bishop. Bishop may exchange its position with a heart only if they are in the same square color. This bishop cannot move here, because it is on a black space and the heart is on a white square. This bishop may move here, because they are both on black spaces. Let’s say, this heart is here. In this position this bishop cannot exchange its position with hearts. Because they are both on white squares and the bishop is on black square. But this bishop may move here or here. Both moves are legal.
