Movement of the pieces

More details about non-pawn piece movement: Hexagonal chessboards

Pawns move towards the opposite wall of the board. They move straight forward (in rook's directions), and capture diagonally forward (in bishop's directions) left or right. They can advance two fields from the two initial pawn-lines.

Pawns promote on the opposite wall of the board, where they can neither move nor capture (see the diagram below).
