Yes, there are specific rules for moving and controlling squares in chess. Here is a summary of the basic rules:

  1. King: Can move one step in any direction (horizontal, vertical or diagonal).

  2. Queen: Can move in any direction (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) for any number of spaces.

  3. Rook: Moves horizontally or vertically for any number of spaces.

  4. Bishop: Moves diagonally for any number of spaces.

  5. Knight: Moves in an "L" pattern, i.e. it moves two spaces in one direction and then one space in a perpendicular direction. It can jump over other pieces.

  6. Pawn: Moves one space forward, but can move two spaces on its first move. It attacks with a diagonal of one square forward.

There are also special rules, such as

  • Castling: A special move between the king and the rook.

  • En passant: A special move for soldiers.

  • Pawn promotion: When a pawn reaches the last row, it can be promoted to any other piece (usually chosen as a queen).

These are the basic rules, and there are more details that can be learned with time and practice.
