Knight movement and finding the shortest path to good squares

Sort:
ThroughTheStorm
       In this position, White wants to get his d3 knight to the weakened  b5 square. I figured out that you'll actually need to make 4 knight moves to get there (1. Nb2, 2. Nd1 or Na4, 3. Nc3, 4. Nb5) as a weaker player, it takes me far too long (in blitz games) to calculate the shortest path a knight will take to get to a desired square.
       Is there any drill I can find, that focuses on making the precise Knight moves to catch a Passed pawn, get to a good square, etc. I really suck at calculations, and not just knight moves. Calculation in general.
The position above is from the 77th TataSteel chess tournament (2015) between Magnus Carlsen(White) and Hou Yifan(Black)

Actually there are some drills to do just what you want.  I saw at least a dozen with knights in the Advantages section, but there are probably more in other sections as well.  Have fun!

You're welcome.  We should all be doing more drills to get better.
