Hello how may I help you? tell me which player goes first in chess most times this first move is made by the player using white ok when can the other player go first when both players decide to do it that way That makes sense. Can a pawn move diagonally? when white goes first it gives them an uneven advantage I see. makes sense pawns only move that way to capture other pieces Perfect. thanks for this helpful info now I can play Chess! cheers!
