Why knight always looks left?
Sort:
Have you noticed that chess.com have adopted both left and right...Left in the current games list and right on the current game played.
I was thinking about this just know, and I found this very old post. Up it goes!

Some people face their knights in different ways. Some face them backwards, left, right, facing each other, to the front etc. But I just think it's their opinion on how they usually place their knights.

It's not just knights that can face to the left, it's also bishops that can too. Some people's bishops are forwards, backwards, facing each other etc. So it's not just the knight! 
Aye, knights can move at tremendous speeds...
