Hi.
What does 'across' mean in:
White can quietly move his King across the board to square f6.
Thanks in advance

I would take it to mean moving from left to right or from right to left, as distinct from moving forward or back.

But the White king moved diagonally in the rest of the game:
a1-b2-c3-d4-e5-f6

In that case he was moving from left to right as well as forward. He started at row a and moved across to row f so he moved across the board as well as up it.
