A rook can move any number of squares along a rank or file. A rook is involved in the king's castling move. A bishop can move any number of squares diagonally. A queen combines the power of a rook and bishop and can move any number of squares along a rank, file, or diagonal.
The knight can move up or down one board and two squares orthogonally, or up or down two boards and one square orthogonally. As in standard chess, the knight is the only piece able to move past intervening pieces. The bishop can move up or down one or two boards, as long as it also moves the same number of squares in a diagonal direction.
