Why knight always looks left?
Sort:
Just a couple of days ago I noticed in a book the Knights on the right side of the board faced to the right or Black's Knights faced to his right!? Can't remember which, or which book just now to check it out (or perhaps it was an online site). Don't recall seeing it before.
My knights are introspective, so they tend to look within.

Hold the knight from it's ass and drag it to move, no sir!
What's the rule in OTB chess? Is one allowed to adjust one's own knights to face however, but not the opponent's?
If that's the case, I can imagine that you could gain a nice psychological advantage when playing against someone who is very fussy about how the knights face by purposely adjusting your own knights to face in random and unusual directions.
I personally don't care very much which direction they face, but I would still find it very strange if my opponent adjusted his knights so they both faced him, and even though it doesn't bother me, I'd probably waste some time thinking about why he prefers to make them face that way or having my attention drawn again and again to the knights because something unusual is happening there.

lol the 2nd

try turning your book upside down
give us a progress report
Success! But from this angle I can't read the precious annotations of Capablanca himself, so I should rather throw the book at you!
The Knights ride the stinking horses, why there is a Horse Face and not a Knight Face should be the paramount concern of all serious Chess players.
The horses don't receive enough credit if you ask me. Ever tried jumping in an L-shape? I don't see the knight doing any work at all. The horses move the knight around, trample pawns underfoot and so on. All the knight does is stand up and declare mate if the horse manages to checkmate the king.
That's not a horse! You have two empty coconut shells and your banging them together!

What the hell is a horse going to do to the opponent, scare them with his horse face?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that if it wasn't for the Knight the horse in the heat of battle would just be happy as hell to go off somewhere eat grass and take a sh#t.
Well, in Dutch, the Knights are actually called Horse.(in Dutch that is:'Paard')
Why do bishops always have a disdainful expression on their faces? Why do pawns have big globe heads?
You know they could have shown the Horse's face straight on and this controversy would be non-existent.
That's interesting I've always wondered if there was a "correct" direction to have your knights face. I personally have both of my knights "look" to the outside of the board (king's knight looks to the right, queen's to the left). I don't know why I like it this way but that how I do it.
Knight placement is like belly buttons. Tin-cup is an "outie." I'm an "innie."
