What is a "knight"?
A knight is a unique chess piece that moves in an L-shape: two squares in one direction, then one square perpendicular to that, or one square in one direction and then two squares perpendicular. This distinctive movement allows the knight to jump over other pieces on the board. The knight is the only piece that can move in this way, making it useful in crowded positions or for attacking pieces that are otherwise protected. Each player starts with two knights, one on the left and one on the right of the back row.
