White Queen's Guard on the 6th rank. The Queen's Guard is like a short range Bishop with limited powers of a Rook. The Major move for the Queen's Guard is to move one, two, or three squares diagonally from its present position. It can capture an opponent's piece on ANY of these squares. While in enemy territory, vertical Minor moves are limited to one square only, unless that one square brings it back into its own territory, in which case it may make a complete two or three square move.
Pawns can only capture diagonally, one square forward.
A Pawn cannot capture a piece directly in front of itself. This option must be exercised by the opponent on the next move or the move stands as it is. When a pawn reaches the eighth rank it must immediately be promoted to a piece of higher value. It can ONLY be promoted to a piece that has been previously captured. There is one special rule when promoting to a Guard.
