KISSINGER, i agree with you, palladin is his name and the symbol for this game.
a knight on the rim is grim , but let him loose in the center of the board, i tremble because they can be incredible foes that can lead you into many traps

I used to find knites very troublesome as well when I was a begginer but as time brewed on and my play got better I played more and more endgames (you tend to pull your punches the more you learn) I noticed how the knites could be very bad pieces in the endgame... and how they were useless in a variety of other situations so now I prefer bishops.
In the beginning i might prefer the bishop but in the end game id take the knight and any other piece to solidify a victory.
i guess it does depend on circumstance i like how rainbowrising did the good and bad thing
here is a bishop fork
yeah i meant to delete that point before i posted it lol. Nice one :)
It's an easy one to miss when you are thinking about forks because it's easy to just think about the bishop going forwards when attacking and only attacking in those directions. Sometimes when thinking about it, it might take me a second to realise the bishop can fork by going between 2 pieces.

yeah but the the knight can attack up to 8 pieces at one time. and usually once he get started the damage he causes before he sacrifices himself is devistating.
next to the king, queen, rooks, bishops and the pawns the knight is ok.
Knights starting position on the board is weak. Two knights side by side is effective. Get the knight central and subdue any impasse to more strategic diagonals. Good luck.

Allways save you Knights but leave your bishops for the endgame
a knight on the rim is grim, so for effective use of more spaces to cover, get him out in the center
without Knights Swedish chess would really be quite boring don't you think?
thats because Knights movement complement the other pieces in chess, especially Queens movement........in fact whit the knight you can atack another piece whit out being atack
I like it when my queen does not get trapped by the knights.
I think you know you're a player when you promote to a Knight. Not something I've ever done, sadly...
Neither have I, but at least this is a position which could have arisen in one of my games if my opponent had taken a different turn:
