No. A Knight's move is an L shape of two squares up, down, left or right, and then one square at a right angle to the initial move (one could argue it's one square followed by two, but one up two left is the same as two left one up).

How many squares can a knight move to when on the middle square on an empty board?
There are eight possible squares a knight can move to when it is in the center of an empty board. For you beginning chess players, note that this is why you try to keep the knight in the center of the board unless there is a specific reason not to. Note that from where the knight starts out it only has 2 squares to move to. A knight in the center is much more powerful than on the edge or in a corner because of this.
