I can't imagine how this would work.

I need a better explanation for this like say we have a board 1-4 A-D and there was a knight on 1-A and 2 pawns on 2-b and 2-C would the knight be able to move to 3-B still or no? And then if there was a knight on 1-A and a pawn on 2-A, 2-B, and 3-B then would this knight be able to move to 2-C?

Would it be able to capture pieces if they blocked the knights way?

it would only move if there is an opening. it cannot move to b3 but can move to c2

I think this would become the most popular opening.

Smothered checkmates wouldn't exist

“Bishops or knights” would have a definite answer.

There actually is a Knight that can’t jump, but it’s only in Variant games. It moves 1 square orthogonally, then 1 diagonally. I don’t remember the name of the piece, though.
