=====The Knight=====
Each player has two knights ( [[File:Video Chess Piece - Black Knight.png|15px]] [[File:Video Chess Piece - Black Knight.png|15px]] [[File:Video Chess Piece - White Knight.png|15px]] [[File:Video Chess Piece - White Knight.png|15px]] ). At the start of the game White's knights are on Bl and G1, Black's on B8 and G8. The knight's move is unusual for two reasons: (i) it is the only piece that can jump over an occupied square; and (ii) it moves two squares horizontally or vertically, followed by one square at right angles to the first part of its move. This double maneuver is all part of the same move and counts as one move.
