How do you place your knights on the chess board?

Diagonally facing inwards. King knight eyes the g1/a7 diagonal and queen knight eyes the b1/h7 diagonal.

I always have my knights facing towards the left over the board because that is the orientation used by the computer software (ChessX) I study with.

I feel like I'm in a time warp!

Cheers goldendog, a golden retrieval there. I have the knights facing backwards, so that they can look back on my old forum posts.

It only just now occurred to me that people place their Knights differently :O

I point them forward I think, though in game the direction changes.

QN points to right and KN point to left, or facing each other at the start of game. I never touch my opponents pieces, only in event of capture, I think it rude.

between the bishops and the rooks?  :)

Facing toward the king and queen.

I like them on d5 and f5

So if you look at the boards, where would you want them to be.

NOTE: 2nd rank Knights 1st rank KNihgts and Knights on the edges were not looked at because unless you are opeing a line for anoher piece, take a piece or setting up an attack or tactic, they are mostly defensive or inactive on those points.

Wow. Perhaps next time I will look at the OP before posting LMFAO.

That sounds like a lot of trouble.

right one points left, left one points back
