I agree, I mean, it is even the icon for this website.
Knight.
Even in Russian Literature... In the famous Russian novel "12 Chairs"... "Four Knights Club"... provincial chess club... figures.
Knight is a very romantic piece.
Either the pawn or the king.

Knight is better than a pawn.
He is more fast and dangerous.

True, I guess the knight is as iconic, if not more iconic, as the pawn.

Pawn is a too plebeian creature. lol
Whereas Chess is an aristocratic game.

But when one reaches the back ranks, they can be promoted to Any piece! Excluding the king, and pawn, of course!
I prefer the knight! The unique movements makes it a dangerous piece on the board.

Yes. It's like in real life.
A knight. Forever Knight. I prove it ... https://www.chessable.com/knights-on-the-attack/course/16475/
The queen has an interesting background and it is the strongest piece.
King for sure. The game wouldn’t happen without royalty.
the king of course !
