Chess Rules VI - The Knight

The Knight is considered the most elegant piece of this game, it is the only piece that can jump over the others (of his color or the adversary's colour). His initial position is the next one:





Movement - Moves two squares for a side and one for other, forming an "L" (or a square for a side and two for other, which is the same thing), alternating his movement between a white square and a black square, such as it is exemplified in the next image:




Hint - This piece captures only the piece that is situated at the square for where it moves. The Knight's movement can be difficult at the first side, but being put in the centre of the empty board and putting Pawns of the opposite color at the squares for where it is possible to move, you'll see that quickly memorize the correct movement of this piece.
