What Can a Pawn do in Chess? It would not seem like a pawn can do a lot. A pawn seems like a small, insignificant chess piece that has little value. Pawns are worth only one point in chess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pawn in chess can move forward but cannot move backward. A pawn can capture other pawns of the opposition and can move sideways to capture pawns too. Pawns can only move one square at a time, and they can never capture by moving straight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pawn is able to put a King in check, but it cannot capture a King. Pawns can capture anything else, from the Queen to the bishop, knights and rooks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But don\u2019t underestimate the power of a pawn. Firstly, pawns are the crucial backbone of your army. They form the barrier that guards the King against a check. If you lose out on most of your pawns, your King is exposed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
