Killer Knight Achievement

You get this achievement by checkmating your opponent with a knight move. This includes if the knight move is a discovered check. You can get the achievement in both rated and unrated games.

Out of these options, checkmate via a knight check is the easiest to achieve.

You can get this achievement by playing a friend unrated with you both working together to get the achievement, or you can try to get the achievement in a rated game against a random opponent. Either way, here are the steps to the easiest method.

Steps:

1. Get a winning position against your opponent
2. Trade down into an endgame where you have a queen and knight against your opponent's lone king
3. Trap your opponent's king on the back rank with your queen
4. Trap your opponent's king in a 2x1 box in a corner with your queen
5. Move your knight to the central square closest to the corner the king is in
6. When the king is on the square adjacent to the corner, move the queen over 1 square to force it into the corner
7. Deliver checkmate with the knight

You will need to adapt how you do it depending on what your opponent does, but this is the basic idea.

There are other methods, but this is the easiest in my opinion.
