How to Use the Knight | Chess Video Lecture | Learn to Play Chess: From a Novice to a Fierce Competitor - Hobbies

David Sullivan with the night and how to
use it this is a white night you begin
the game with two white knights a knight
moves in an l-shape
like from here d for the night goes one
two and then one notice the letter L but
this L can be backwards one to one in
this direction or it can kind of be
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 night for instance
could 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 reaching the other
side of the board the Knight has one
special power it can jump so even if the
night were say surrounded by these black
pawns we will kind of use 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 to one to the side
landing on the pawn on d5 or it could go
to the side two jumping over these two
points landing over the point 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 capturing upon 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 a game of chess the only
pieces that can move are the pawns who
block everybody else and the Knights who
can jump over the points
