How does the Knight move?

I like that joke when it was first made on their stream, but as question it was kinda cringe
Yeah
The kids nowadays seek but immediate satisfaction. Anything past a blip in time becomes boring. “It”s all about money, money and more money” is the mantra. Appreciation of the finer details in a well thought out game is non-existent.
No worries. Traditional chess will survive . There will always remain a place for longer formats from a 2 hour game to Daily chess. Times are changing for sure. The entire world is speeding up. Perhaps 30/30 will become the new “classical” for major tournaments. I dare say for a WC Match tradition will be with us for some time yet. Problem is the top players are all so darn good it’s hard to win a game until a player becomes ambitious, perhaps risky. Matches resemble 0-0 soccer or baseball games going extra time. For some it can be exciting- tense defensive struggles. Others demand high scoring as in basketball. Blitz chess provides their only entertainment. A time and place for everything.
The Knight moves 1 square along a rank or file and then 1 square diagonally away from it’s original square. It combines the movement of the Rook and Bishop.
I beg your pardon?
Read FIDE’s description.
The Knight moves 1 square along a rank or file (as the Rook moves- also the King) and then moves 1 square diagonally away from it’s original square.
When thought of in this fashion, the Knight moves through the squares involved and does not jump over a square and then move 1 square in a L pattern. The L pattern is the traditional Western concept and is starting to also prevail in Instruction in Eastern countries which previously visualized the Knight as moving through the squares to its designation.
I much prefer this visualization being able to convert from the L pattern/ jumping concept. Most can not change however once learned. To each his/her own.
