No they are not.

Totally confuse beginners. I used to remove then asap and keep my own. Still terrified of them 🤣

1.  Their movement is unique which means they can fork any other piece (besides a knight) at no risk to themselves.

2.  They can jump over other pieces making them good in closed positions, and can move without needing to make a pawn move.

     If you really think knights are useless, just play odds games giving them up. You'll quickly learn how important they are.

Only if you are useless.

Also, a knight check cannot be resolved by interposition of pieces unlike the queen, rook or bishop.

All pieces can lead to checkmate except for the king. Eg: killer pawn, killer knight, killer bishop, killer rook and killer queen. All awards will be given if you checkmate with a certain piece.

Sure they are.

Breathing is also useless, I have not noticed any improvement to my health from that crap.

Time to replace knights with koalas.

There's a killer king award too. Hidden until you get it. For instance, if you move the king out of the way of a piece that delivers checkmate. Can't be via castling though, as there's a separate award for that ("castle victory"), which is also hidden.

To albacord,

Yes, I do remember it but I forgot. Thanks for reminding me about that one. It had been over half a year or so since I collected all those except the castle victory.
