Hi everyone! Before we start i would like to inform you that these are MY opinions You might think differently and that's ok everyone have different opinion. welcome back to my posts and today we will be going over The knight in detail If you do not know what a knight is you can learn Some about it here. The first thing we will discuss is the structure of the piece and the way it works
why knights are my fav piece: Knights are my favorite piece because of one thing How they move. They move in a L shape unlike other pieces being able to move across the whole board. How to utilize your knights: Now you may be wondering, How do you utilize knights? Well there are lots of ways, One of them is for it to be in the middle of the board
Notice that on this board, the knight in the corner only controls 2 squares While the knight in the center controls 8 squares. The knight on the side but not in the corner Controls 4 squares which is better than 4 but not as good as 8. So what you just learned here is try to keep your knights in the center of the board.
Here is another reason your knight should NOT be in the corner (unless taking a valuable piece) Check this out
Notice that the queen can make the knight in the corner trapped without ANY help!! That is another reason why you should not have your knights in the corner (unless you have a reason)
And now we come to the question, When are knights good? And what tactics should i use with them? Well in the middle of the Game you should try to use knights because rooks bishops and queens cannot jump But the knight can. That way u can use your knights better and make them threaten a lot of pieces. this brings me to the next question How should we use our knight for a tactic? Well, you can use forks which are the best for knights because of the fact that knights can jump over pieces, of example in the example below the knight is forking a queen and queen therefor making the king move and allowing the knight to take the queen.
As you can see above the fork is the best tactic to use with a knight
