	Knight (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		In chess problems and endgame studies, the letter S, standing for the German name for the piece, Springer, is often used, N instead being used for the popular fairy chess piece, the nightrider.

	Chessville - Instruction - Beginner - Rules - Moves - Knight
		Knights move in a way which is rather difficult to describe, and can in fact be described in a number of ways.
		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).
		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.

	KING'S KNIGHT CHESS
		In this regard the Knight is considered to be of an inconsistent nature by the Bishop, and the Knight tends to regard the Bishop as absurdly limited and somewhat narrow-minded and stuffy.
		The Knight is the classical warrior, the adventurous seeker for great causes, the active and enthusiastic contender for championships, volatile, easily excited, and aggressive in a flashy way.
		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.

	Pocket knight
		One of the chess variants, I used to play when I was a child was pocket knight, or paard in de zak, as this game is called in Dutch.
		Hence, it is allowed to put the knight on such a square, that check is given, mate is given, or, when a player is in check, between the checking piece and the king to remove the check.
		In that case, each player removes one of the knights from the opening setup (but both on the same line, i.e., either the knights on b1 and b8, or the knights on g1 and g8), and takes that knight as the knight `in its pocket'.

		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's Tour is a classic chess problem which was studied (and probably solved) over 1000 years ago.
		Since knight moves will land on squares with alternating colors, the 63rdmove, the final one, must land on a square that does not match the starting square in color.
		There are a number of types of tours that have been identified including a "closed tour" where the 1st position is a valid knight's move from the 64th.

	Korean Chess
		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).
		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.
		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.
