Supposing diagram No. 2 to show the position of the men towards the
conclusion of a game, and it being either party's turn to play, he could
take the adverse Pawn from the board, and place his King on the square
it occupied; and, by doing so, the King would not depart from the order
of his march, which, as we have before said, permits him to move _one
step_ in every direction. In each of these instances we have placed the
Pawn in _front_ of the King, but he would be equally entitled to take it
were it standing on any other part of the eight squares immediately
surrounding him, _always provided it was not sustained or guarded by
some other Piece or Pawn_.
