Queen & Horse


**Knight:**- The knight moves in an **L-shape**:
- Two squares in one direction (up, down, left, or right), then one square perpendicular to that, **OR**
- One square in one direction, then two squares perpendicular to that.
- The knight is the only piece that can **jump over other pieces**. It doesn’t matter if there are other pieces in its way; it lands on its destination square.
- A knight can capture an opponent’s piece by landing on its square.
Think of the movement as forming an "L" with any combination of two squares + one square.-
### **Queen:**- The queen is the most **powerful piece** on the board because it combines the movements of the **rook** and **bishop**:
- It can move any number of squares **vertically** (up or down), **horizontally** (left or right), or **diagonally**.
- The queen cannot jump over other pieces. Its path must be clear.
- The queen can capture an opponent’s piece by landing on its square.
