The Spearman is the first of the front row pieces. He is represented by a man,
holding a large shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand. He moves
forward only and captures only on the diagonal.On his first move, the Spearman has the option of moving either 1, 2 or 3 squares forward. After the Spearman's first move he advances only one square at a time, no matter which option he chooses. A spearman cannot be redeemed for a lost higher piece by advancing him down to your opponent's first rank. This limits his actions and doesn't create miracles that shouldn't happen. There are six Spearmen to a side in THE GAME. To find their place on the board, see Diagram. |
