Name for two knights defending eachother
Sort:
What’s the term for when you have the two knights in play and they defend each other in the classic knight L shape? I always called it a festizio because that’s a word that Peter Griffin makes up lmao. But I’m curious what’s the actual name of that?
I'm not aware of any specific term for mutually defending Ns, but you could say that they're connected or communicating.
It's called the Wen Long defense.
Larry and Curley...Moe got left out.

There is no name for it, and that's mostly becuse of the satement of #5, it can be a potential weakness as a knight can be kicked out form defence of the other becuse knights do not move in a straight line.
