Knight Movements

Knights are known for their unique and distinctive L-shaped movement pattern, which allows them to jump over other pieces on the board. A chess knight is typically represented as a stylized horse's head and neck. It has a more elaborate design compared to pawns and other smaller pieces, often with intricate details that depict the knight's mane and facial features. Here are the list of movements:

The knight moves in an "L-shape," consisting of two squares in one direction (horizontally or vertically) and then one square in a perpendicular direction (vertically or horizontally), or vice versa.
This distinctive movement allows the knight to jump over other pieces on the board, regardless of whether they are friendly or opponent's pieces.
The knight's movement is not affected by the presence of other pieces in its path; it can "hop" over them.

To summarize, the chess knight's movement can be visualized as moving in an "L" pattern, jumping over intervening squares. This unique movement makes the knight a valuable and versatile piece in the game, capable of surprising opponents and accessing positions that other pieces cannot.
