Hello,
I am writing you
to ask you the following: I have just started to play Chess and
who else but you to clarify some questions:
1. Can all Pawns on their first move
advance two squares?
2.
Can the Pawns and the other pieces back down?
3.
What is the purpose of the castling? since castling can't checkmate
the opponent's King.
Thank you very much for your attention and hope you can write back
to me.

Dear viewer,
1. All Pawns on
their first move can advance one or two squares. After their
first move, they move only one square each.
2. Pawns cannot back up, they move forward
only. The rest of the other pieces can move back and forth.
3. The intent of castling is to put
the King in a safe place by removing him out of the Chessboard center. A King placed at the center of the board is very
vulnerable from the attack of the opponent's pieces.
It is
possible to checkmate the enemy's King when castling. In our
Chess problems page at the Mate in one section, the 2 of 10
problem checkmates in one move when white castles:
