Real Chess Corner

How the knight moves: A knight jumps in an L-shape: two squares in one direction, then one square to the side. It's the only piece that can jump over other pieces.

From g8: After 1.e4 the knight on g8 can only go to f6 or h6 - e7 is blocked by Black's own pawn. g5 is three squares straight down. That's not a knight move at all!

Fun fact: A knight always lands on a square of the opposite colour to the one it started on.

Even champions make mistakes... but not THAT kind of mistake.
