    When my dad and grandpa were teaching me how to play chess, they told me that the knight moves in a “G” pattern. I could not for the life of me figure out how a G maps to what they showed me, so I figured out that it goes one diagonal, and then eitger one up if the diagonal was up, one down if it was down and the same reasoning for left and right. That’s still how I visualize it.

    Years later I realized that they meant the cyrillic G, which looks like this: Γ…

      Ha. They got you. My dad taught that it’s 2 spots in one (cardinal) direction, then 1 spot in another direction (demonstrating that the other direction has to be 90° to the original direction).

    D. A portal opens on the start and end square and the horsey just falls through

      This is the correct answer. It is literally the point of the piece.

    The first one because it represents a charging horse hitting someone off to their side with a lance.

    Horsey obviously moves in 3D, that’s how it jumps over other pieces

      I thought they originally teleported, but I was recently informed it was actually tetris blocks.

        In some editions, they can also clip through the tiles and move under other pieces

    I always go with 1st option when I’m doing the move in my head.

    Left ones. I always imagine a knight with his lance on the left or right while charging for the enemy and skewers them
