Knight Captures Pawn In each diagram there are two captures possible. The white and black Knights could each make a capture, or the white Knight could make two captures, or the black Knight could make two captures. One of the captures is good because it is safe and one is bad because the Knight himself could be captured. Draw an arrow to show the possible pawns the Knights could capture. Remember: it is possible for one Knight to have two captures. Circle the good (safe) capture.

Data Collection Put a circle inside each square the white Queen could move to. Be sure to include captures! For each move put an X through the square if, after the white Queen moves to that square, Black can capture the white Queen on his turn.
