When playing over-the-board chess, which way do you orient your knights?

  1. Forward, obviously. That's the direction we are attacking!
  2. Both towards the left (if you are right-handed) or towards the right (if you are left-handed). Makes it easier and more natural to grab them and move them.
  3. Looking at your king. Makes the setup more symmetric, and is more symbolic.
  4. Always looking at the opposing king (regardless of where they are on the board). That's the target!
  5. Both facing away from the opponent, because I'm a bit weird like that.

I think #5 so your opponent can't see their intentions.
