A Knight does not move one square diagonally. It moves in a "L" shape. IE: From b1 to a3.

If the Knight is pinned to your King, you can't move it because you would be putting yourself in check.

If your King is in check, you can't move it unless it blocks the check or captures the checking piece.

If your King is in double check (checked by two pieces at the same time) you can only move your King.
