Knight can move to block bishop
What? Pieces can't move over other pieces... This isn't fucking checkers.
Knight can. That's his main thing.
Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_(chess)
I don't trust wikipedia. I think big-chess has infiltrated it to sell you more knight pieces!
In the anonymity of the internet, I dare to say that I'm a former horsey piece seller who left because I couldn't stand it anymore. You are right, no piece ever moved over another. It's a myth perpetuated by the kind of person I was. But I can't do it anymore. It a lie, it always was. Don't believe anything of it.
Also stop using the kn**** word. It's offensive.
You shouldn't believe everything that is on the Internet
Try it sometime. The game will let you because it’s a valid move
That is what Magnus Carlsen would want you to believe.
Only once you convince it it's actually a ghost and it can go wherever it wants but then you risk a haunting.
Can confirm: I'm haunted by a guy on a horse
Don't be silly, basically you can get off the horsey and go around the obstacle, but the this doesn't work for eg a pawn cause what are you going to do, split in two?
While is this technically possible, it takes too much time (about 2-3 turns depending on the size and fitness of the horsey).
That's what they don't tell you. "Horseys can jump, the Germans call them The Jumper." Yes, but at what cost?
Play on an offline physical chessboard and the game will let you do anything you want.
Or queen can just take it. Look at the left side. Or bottom.
What the hell is going on in here?
No, the queens are all wallflowers, why do you think they aren't dancing?? I'll tell you, they're too shy.
