Knight Movement

Level 2 • Piece Movement

The Most Important Exercise

The knight is the hardest piece to visualize due to its unique L-shaped movement. Mastering knight visualization is essential for blindfold chess.

How the Knight Moves:

  • Moves in an L-shape: 2 squares + 1 square perpendicular
  • Can jump over other pieces
  • From any square, a knight can reach 2-8 squares
  • Knights in the center control more squares
