| | Chess - Simple English Wikipedia |
 | | The players in a game of chess are called "white player" and "black player", depending on the color of pieces they control. | | | Knights are placed at the second and seventh squares on the rows closest to each player, between the rooks and the bishops. | | | Many games of chess end when one player sees that the other player will win soon, and so says aloud that he or she has lost. |

| | Knight (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The knight is the only piece that can move at the beginning of the game before any pawn move has been made. | | | The knight (or colloquially, horse) is a piece in the game of chess, representing a knight (armoured cavalry) and often depicted as a horse's head. | | | Knights are usually brought into play slightly sooner than bishops, and much sooner than the rooks and the queen. |

| | Storm Tidings: Chess |
| | The usual practice in knight's chess is that only the opponent's pawns are considered trampled and removed from the board (those of the same side are considered pushed in a ditch and allowed to remain in play). | | | In knight's chess, the knight's move consists of two squares in a straight line and then one square to the side. | | | Knights who break through to the rear line of their enemy are eligible for promotion to bishop should they be moved later in the game next to either their king or the pope. |

| | Chessville - Instruction - Beginner - Rules - Moves - Knight |
| | The most common way to describe the knight’s move is to say that it moves along an L-shaped path: two squares either horizontally or vertically, followed by one square at a right angle (or one square either horizontally or vertically, followed by two squares at a right angle: it amounts to the same thing). | | | Knights move in a way which is rather difficult to describe, and can in fact be described in a number of ways. | | | However, just like the other pieces, a knight may not move into and occupy a square which is already occupied by a piece of the same color; and it may only move into a square occupied by a piece of the opposite color if it captures that piece. |

| | US Chess Federation: |
| | Chess is a game for two players, one with the "White" pieces and one with the "Black" pieces. | | | Think of the Knight's move as an "L." It moves two squares horizontally or vertically and then makes a right-angle turn for one more square. | | | If a checked player can do none of these, he is checkmated and loses the game. |

| | KING'S KNIGHT CHESS |
| | Whereas the Knight can be a “loner” conducting his part in the game single-handedly, the Rook is responsible to a group and may control substantial material holdings, making it difficult to bring about rapid changes in his situation. | | | In the opening game, where the board is crowded, the Knight’s ability to jump over other pieces to thread his way through the groups of pieces makes him appear less vulnerable to limitation than his counterpart, the Bishop. | | | The rook’s real-life roles are easily taken from the shape and “common name’ of the piece--the castle--and from its unique practice of “castling.” This move is the only circumstance in Chess where two pieces are moved in a single game move. |

| | A legal move for the knight is shaped like an L. Up or down two squares and over one square. | | | The objective of this puzzle is to pass all the squares of the board with the knight, making only legal moves. | | | While you attempt to follow the rule of only using the L shaped moves in sequence, you also need to see a pattern developing on the board so that you don't get stuck in a corner, unable to move again. |

| | The Knight |
| | Another thing to notice about the Knight move is that if it is on a white square it must move to a black square. | | | he "Knight's Tour" is an ancient puzzle in which the object is to move a Knight, starting from any square on a Chess board, to every other square, landing on each square only once. | | | Sometimes a Knight will fork a BS and a PA. Your opponent being unable to counter both threats thus loses the PA. Your opponent will either move or defend the BS and you will capture the PA and sometimes a +CH can also be achieved as well. |

| | Korean Chess |
| | In Chinese Chess, moving from the 5th to the 6th row is "moving across the river" where the pawns gain the power to move one step sideways--and where the Bishops can not move across. | | | If you transpose the knight and bishop to just one side of the lineup, then the four pieces (your 2 knights and 2 bishops) can theoretically hit every spot on the board (not each piece but together the 4 pieces can "hit" every spot on the board granted enough moves are made). | | | For the curious, the Chinese Chess pawn is different; it can't move sideways until after getting to it's 6th row (called after crossing the river) and it can't move down the diagonal line in the enemy's fortress. |
