Move

In chess, a "move" refers to the action of transferring one piece from its current square to another legal square following the game's rules. Each turn, a player makes one move, progressing the game by positioning their pieces strategically to control space, threaten the opponent’s pieces, or advance toward checkmating their king. A move can involve repositioning a piece, capturing an opponent’s piece, or special actions like castling. Effective moves are essential for developing a strong position and pursuing a winning strategy in the game.
