• Pawn-capture in chess and draughts

    From Sultan Ratrout@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 15 05:16:21 2019
    Hello everybody

    In Chess, pieces capture as they move except a pawn. A pawn (man) moves orthogonally, but captures diagonally. Has chess has imported diagonal capture from draughts? We need an explanation for this irregular capture of the pawn.

    Regards
