A chess piece which can move in an "L" formation that is on the black team.
That would be the Knight .
No, they are supposed to represent advisors.
The Queen is second only to the King in strength and power for she , with the exception of the Knight , can move like every chess piece since she incorporates the power of every chess-men's move .
The Queen may not move as you described because it is an illegal move - only the knight has the power to jump other chess pieces . ~ See related link below for more information as to how the Queen moves .A:In regular chess, the Queen cannot jump any pieces at all. (The only piece which can jump an intervening pawn or piece is the Knight.)*However, there are versions of chess with alternate rules, known collectively as fairy chess, in which the Queen might be granted Knight-like features, including the ability to jump over a piece rather than capturing it.*And the King, while castling, can in a sense be said to have jumped over the Rook.
Yes. The Knight can move over your pieces or your opponents pieces while making its move, as long as it lands on either an unoccupied square or a square controlled by your opponent's piece.
In chess, the only piece that can jump is the knight. This peice can move to another piece 2, then 1 spaces away, regardless of what pieces are in the way, and in this way, the piece 'jumps'. You certainly don't 'have' to jump, but there's no reason not to.
The knight.
The Knight .
No , the Knight can , as any chess piece , only capture the square upon which it lands .
He was a knight without armour in a savage land.
The letter N stands for the knight . ("K" is reserved for the King.)
