the knight can capture a piece on any of these 8 squares
the knight is the only piece that can junp over another piece
so even though its surrounded by others it can still capture
any of these white pawns
WATCH THIS KNIGHT MOVE
He attacks the king, (check)AND the queen.....
the KING MUST MOVE and the queen can't help,the knight captures the queen....
this is called a "KNIGHT FORK"
although the other pieces can do this also,the knight seems to be able to sneak up better
TRY NOT TO PUT YOUR KNIGHT ON THE RIM,,
HE BECOMES ONLY "HALF" A KNIGHT !!
he can only go to 4 squares now
THIS IS EVEN WORSE
here he can only go to 2 squares "AVOID THE CORNERS"
***** PHILIDORS' LEGACY *****

(well....with help from the opponent)
