| 8 | guarding a square on its way; this capture is only possible right after | |
| 9 | the move (same condition as for en passant pawns captures). | |
| 10 | li. | |
| 11 | Even if the capturer gets captured en passant on next turn, | |
| 12 | the initial captured piece does not return to the board. | |

| 20 | Knights become knightriders, which may make multi knight-steps in the same direction. | |

| 22 | can go to e5 or capture d7 in addition to the knight moves (see diagram below). | |
| 23 | li The king can capture a piece en passant by making a knight move. | |
