pawns <\/a>are the smallest, least significant and least valuable pieces in chess. Their design is simple, and you can easily recognize a pawn due to its small size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pawns symbolize the foot soldiers in chess. Or they also represent armed pheasants. There are eight pawns per side. They may be the weakest pieces, but collectively, they form the backbone and body of the army that protects the King from capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n The pawns or the foot soldiers are the ones that are sent out to the heat of the battle. Often, they are sacrificed, killed and captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But interestingly, once a pawn is brave enough to reach the other side of the board, it is \u2018promoted\u2019 to a stronger chess piece like a knight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pawn is worth only one point in chess. It can move only one piece at a time. Pawns could also symbolize the common innocent people of any kingdom that are often sacrificed and exploited in the name of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chessboard<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n The chessboard represents the battlefield. The two different colors represent two different kingdoms at war. It is possible that the white represents the \u2018good\u2019 kingdom and the black represents the \u2018bad.\u2019 The side on which you start your game represents your homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
