    When I was being taught chess as a kid the knight’s L-shaped movement was explained to me as ‘clippety-clippety-clop’. I still say it to myself in my head every time. I’m 39.

    The knight always landing on the other colour is a good way to avoid knight forks in a time scramble. Two pieces can only ever be forked by a knight if they're on the same colour as one another

    The person she was quoting was Martin Amis. I wonder how he, Stephen, Victoria, and an unknown Ricky Gervais all ended up in a poker game tho. Ricky's breakthrough was around year 2000 so it had to be before that. I'm pretty sure Victoria would also have been unknown at that time which makes it even more wild.

    @raphaelperry8159 Před měsícem

    Only people who didn't learn chess traditionally talk about a diagonal part of a knight's move. Traditionally it's always taught as two forwards then one to the side. Some manuals never even occasionally refer to it as one to the side then two forwards (which would yield the same result). There are often diagrams showing the eight moves a knight can make depicting it as forwards then sideways (and not the other way 'round).
    People who claim it's just one forwards and one diagonal (in either order of your choice) are trying to show that they're clever because they can visualise it a different way, were taught by someone lazy who wanted to show off, or are trying to teach you something that will annoy proper chess players later if you brag about knowing it to show off.
