This is David Sullivan with the knight and how to use it.
This is a white knight. You begin the game with two white knights. A knight moves in an L-shape like from here D4 goes one, two and then one. Notice the letter L, but this L can be backwards, one,two one in this direction or it can be kind of sideways and upside down. The knight always goes one two and then it turns, one, two and then it turns, one two and then it turns.
The knight, for instance, to get from F1 on the first rank all the way over here in four moves, you could go up two and turn, up two and turn, up two and turn, and then it could go to the side two and turn to reach the other side of the board.
The knight has one special power. It can jump. So even if the knight were, say, surrounded by these black pawns and kind of used as targets here the knight can jump over the pawns like it could go jump one two, jumping over this pawn on E4 and then turns landing on F5.
From F5 it could go one two, jumping over these two. squares landing on the E3 square. Whatever you land on in chess you capture. From E3 the knight could go up two one to the side landing on the pawn in D5, or it could go to the side too jumping over these two pawns landing on the pawn on C4.
Move, move, turn; move, move, turn. So move, move, turn, we capture the pawn. Move, move turn, jump, jumping over the pawn and capture the pawn. Jumping over the pawn, jumping over the E3 square landing on E4 capturing it. Jump, jump, capture; jump, jump, capture; jump, jump, capture; and then finally jump, jump, capture.
At the beginning of the game and the knights who cam jump over of chess the only pieces that can move are the pawns who block everybody else and the knights who can jump over the pawns.

Generally moves like an L shape but in blitz can be very unpredictable
ey magnus
He forgot to mention that in addition to being able to move two steps, and then one step, that you can also move one step and then two steps.
@@oaklandmurphy i think this was a joke
@@oaklandmurphy r/woooosh
That must be why my opponents always beat me.
THANK YOU! GEEZE THEY CONFUSE PEOPLE. He's the 2nd person to forget. I'm all over ytube looking for the correct way because 1 person said you can go either/or. Then the next 2 people said only 2 up 1 over
It actually ends up being the same. Look at a board closely. The square you end up being in would be the same whether you choose to move 2 over and then 1, or 1 over and then 2. Make sense?
the knight is my favourite piece. It's the most interesting one!
It could easily be the most dangerous piece, it's a sneaky dickens.
I’ve invented a variant with another interesting “jumping” piece, while keeping the knight in play:

@@idicula1979 ikr my friend beats me because I don't know how the knight move
It’s so hard for me to read it
That's me!
I have come to the conclusion that learning that the knight moves in the form of the L is really bad especially for visualization and seeing really fast where the knight can go.
And its a bad habit that it will be harder to break as you get more experience and hinder your progress.
Instead of everytime you see the knight you have to think of all the L it can do.
Think of the color of the square and dont think of where it moves but what squares it controls its the same but not really cause you are seeing all the options at once instead of doing L calculation which take a lot of time for the brain.
Instead this will take a moment to understand but it will make everything easier in the long run.
Look at the knight, look at the color square he controls. Now draw 1 square arrow diagonally which is the same color square as your knight. Now the outside adjacant squares which are the opposite color of your knight are the squares the knight controls.
Think of it as an Y with the base of the Y starting where your knight is.
And its pretty easy to visualize 2 4 or all 8 squares that the knight controls.
Again to see the whole picture.
See the 4 same colored squares around your knight, and all 8 adjacent different colored squares are the ones the knight controls.
It might seem hard as I say it but with a board in front of you its easy.
So the knight starts at the base of the Y and can finish on each branch of the Y .
Than as you get more familiar you will see all 4 Y's .
I dont know how GM see it in their mind.
@Joe Rogan Thanks for showing this to me. I'm practicing it now and automatically see the Y. My time is being saved by this practice now.
Exactly, an easier to say it though is to say a knight moves both straight and diagonally during one of its moves.
If you watch this on LSD it's about a psychotic horse breaking down and brutally slaughtering eight innocent corn farmers.
lol
You are crazy I can't believe it.
Moral of the story? Don't mess with the Sphinx :)
On chess online u can do extra with knight he doesn't do a L it's more out
Hopefully it's not Bambi from Dave and Bambi
The knight moves to the closest space that the queen cannot move to.
All these howcast videos have helped a lot. I subscribed because I am now ready for my chess tournament on Saturday. Thanks so much
Wtf how can you enter a chess tournament without knowing how to play chess 😂😂 I know you are 4 years older now
@@iamnotanegirl1344 I think he meant that he learnt from these videos earlier and is now ready for his tournament.
In mexico its also called Horse (Caballo)
in diferent parts of the world the pieces have diferent names, or not way too diferent, just variations :)
This was an awesome video. It made me to appreciate the beauty of the knight so much more.
U make it look as if the knight is over powered xD
It is
Kotten Kandie in chess nothing can be overpowered because the other side has it. Granted, the knight, in my opinion, is much more useful than the bishop, and sometimes even the rook.
Kotten Kandie it may not be OP but it is a very useful peace and at the same time very deadly if your opponent knows how to use it.
@@soupdoyou9111 not in the endgame though, I lost a match with 2 pawns advantage because I had a knight and my opponent had a bishop

Im sure most understand this, I thougt you would give a few tips to rampage with the Knight. The happens to be my favorite piece in Chess. I can check a King or Queen in the moves, depending if the opponent moves the right pawn or not. Bishops happen to be my second favorite piece. Can easily cut off main route for Queen, Pawns, and the enemies Bishops. Chess kicks ass.
I am fairly new to chess and your videos are amazing, so clear and fun to learn from. Thanks.
Yeah, I’m learning also. He’s a great instructor
This is why I love HowCast
beautifully explained
My favourite piece 🐴
Did u get the thumbnail reference.
Thanks, now I understand it for the very first time. :)

When Kings college got you playing chess...
Very helpful thank you!
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks
I needed to know this to solve a programming problem, but I then decided to learn chess and be a chess player
I prefer horse or Mr.Pony
thanks for teaching!😊
0:18 the knight is on d5. Not d4.
It’s not one two one. It’s one diagonal and one forward (or backwards). A tip I learned recently which helps me visualize better
One question, can knight jump over other pieces other than pawn?
Any piece
Thank you so much. 😊
Also knights can check in the appropriate move threatinig other pieces like pawns bishops rooks queen and the king
Really helpful thank you
aww it turns and jumps, cute.
Can the knight jump over his own pieces ? Or just the opponent players pieces?
As a kid I used to think knight moves as a capital "Y" shape rather than "L" shape
Nicely explained 👌🏿✅
Wow i love this guy i used to be bad at chess just cuz i don't know how to use knight
Can the knight move backwards??
belam1982
Every piece but the pawns can move back
Bro that is cool
knight or bishop and why do you have said opinion?
Many people think that these light pieces are of the same prize in pawns. I think Bobby Fischer was the first one to indicate that bishop should be worth more 3.25 while the Knight only 3. After machines played millions of games, we just learned that bishops value is simply higher as in many more cases it was more useful piece. And a lower level giving up bishop for a Knight is completely fine, but at higher levels you generally don’t want to give up a bishop for a pawn unless it will ruin you’re oponents pawn structure or that Knight is powerful
he capture those pawns clean tho
thank you
What is the meaning of solders move in n shape
A pawn can capture to a knight (horse)
So how does the horsey move? 😉
We know how it moves, how do you figure out how to defend against it? It is a killer to figure out.
Take away it's landing spots.
Great
Noob question. Can the knight move one then two at aright angle or is it only two then one at a right angle?
Seymour Glass thanks. Once I actually looked at a chess board again (its been quite a few yrs) I realised it’s irrelevant.
All the same places on the board can be gained by moving two then one that would have been achieved by one then two.
So if u we're gonna move your knight at the being off the game would u count 12 and then do it
Hey but you can also move 1 square and turn 2 square
Knight is my fav because i love giving L to my enemies
But won't the pawn could capture at 1:40
Thank u
Is the Knight only allowed to jump over the Pawn or can it jump over other pieces?
+Jazlyn Bell Others... You just can't jump your team mates when you land. Here is a little example. B- Bishop Q-King K-Knight
^
Q B
over any piece
Both
That was awesome.
It can jump
When you "jump, jump, capture", can you do that to several pieces at a time, so that you capture, let say, 3 pieces in one move?
we just watched the death of pawns
Isnt that literally the beginning of every Chess game?
this chess piece is analysis standard or weighted? I'm struggling to find glossy plastic SOLID piece in my country. Even bought online and they came dull matte plastic pieces whereas the ad is glossy plastic club set. I don't like hollow pieces
Lancer Shade get some white and black nail polish, put em each in a shot glass and then dip the respective figures in them
here you can get your tutorial, Andrea Botez
Can knights go backwards?
Yes 🙌
Wait they can jump?!
Yeah
I don't understand how you mentioned Knight can complete the board in 4 steps while you forgot a crucial point that Knight is switching colors with every move..!
Well, that's the same thing as moving 2 forward and then 1 to the side,, you just do it starting to the different direction. To keep it simple, it's easier just to put it this way.. Your comment is invalid -_-
Bruh me and the knight are the same, every time i move it will result as an L
Awesome!!!
He is not even getting killed by any of those soldiers even though every move he did was a suicide
Good
I thought it could go ⬆1 ↔↔1 2 also
So that's why Knights on International Chess are useful since it can jump other pieces while Chinese Knights in Chinese Chess could be blocked...
Develop in your experience
Ohh his smile
I've been playing chess since lockdown but that mufaking horse is the most confusing piece on the board
I know xD but it would have been funny if we continued this :D
Thankss broo okay
Thank you I have been playing chess for a while and thought that the knight can also move for example,1 up and 2 to the side.However,after watching your video I now know how to properly use it and not look like a cheater.
It can... Going 1 up and 2 to the side puts you in the exact same position as going 2 to the side and 1 up.
Mr.Best 101 it can go one up then two right or left twice or back and right or left twice
whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
These comments are a helpful addition to the video
Can a knight capture the 👑
it can force check and checkmate alone so, yes.
