'''[[Main Page|Home]] * [[Chess]] * [[Squares]] * Target Square'''
The '''Target Square''' of a [[Moves|move]], also called to- or destination square, is the square occupied by the moving [[Pieces|piece]] after [[Make Move|making the move]]. If the target square was occupied by an opponent piece in case of a [[Captures|capture]], the opponent piece is removed from the board as part of the completion of the move. In [[Pieces versus Directions#PieceByPiece|piece wise]] [[Move Generation|move generation]], [[Origin Square|move origins]] are subject of an outer loop over all pieces, while the target squares are subject of an inner loop, after attack and move target generation. [[Pieces versus Directions#DirectionWise|Direction-wise]] move generation traverses target squares per direction and generally requires more effort to determine the from-squares.
