    Is there a correct way to originally position the Knight on the board? Should the Knights be facing each other, or are they to be both facing a certain way, etc?

    That's a good question. I assume that their heads are to be pointed as if they were riding off into battle (in the direction of your opponent). However, we better check with the chess experts at chess.com!

    I like to have them facing each other; I find it more visually appealing.

    But I doubt there's an official answer.
