What a Queen Likes to Wear

My post is about what a Queen likes to wear on a chess board. A Queen likes to wear diamonds. This helps me remember that a Queen always starts on square d1.

Pawn Game

Here's how to play the Pawn Game:

1. First, set up the pawns. Black on rank 7. White on rank 2.
2. Next, white goes first. They can move a pawn 1 or 2 squares forward.
   
3. Then, black goes. Take turns!
4. To win, white needs to get one pawn to rank 8, or black needs to get one pawn to rank 1. Then the pawn gets promoted to Queen, Bishop, Rook, or Knight.
5. You can win by capturing all the other player's pawns. (Remember, pawns capture diagonally!)
