Part II: Moving the Pieces (Knight)

• The Knight
  

The knight can move L shaped only.

Given knight position on e4, what is the possible moves?

The answer is c5, d6, f6, g5, g3, f2, d2 and c3.

To capture an opponent's piece, first move the knight to the opponent's piece, then take the opponent's piece.

Given the situations below, what pieces that can be captured by the knight?

The answer is the pieces on f2 and g3.

Knight is feared as it can move through obstacles. Given the position below with black's turn,

Black move the king to d8, then white move the knight to capture the rook on a8

At this moment the black player cannot do anything to stop the white's knight from fleeing as it can move to b6. Remember that the black's king cannot move to c7 as it can be captured by the knight on a8.
