Classic TheKnightsAndPawns is played on a square board of eight rows and eight columns.
The game pieces are divided into red and blue knights and pawns.
Each player begins the game with 8 pieces of the specified color, 4 knights and 4 pawns.
A knight moves two squares vertically and one square horizontally, or two squares horizontally and one square vertically.
The knight can leap over other pieces.
The pawn moves in any direction exactly one space.
When there is an enemy piece one square diagonally of the pawn, either left or right, then the pawn may capture that piece.
A piece is moved to either an unoccupied square or one occupied by an opponent's piece, which is captured and removed from play.
The player without pieces remaining loses the game.
