When my dad and grandpa were teaching me how to play chess, they told me that the knight moves in a "G" pattern. I could not for the life of me figure out how a G maps to what they showed me, so I figured out that it goes one diagonal, and then eitger one up if the diagonal was up, one down if it was down and the same reasoning for left and right. That's still how I visualize it.

Years later I realized that they meant the cyrillic G, which looks like this: Γ...

Horsey obviously moves in 3D, that's how it jumps over other pieces

Holy hell anarchy chess is on lemmy

3D Curve. Horseys jump...

I draw a circle sqrt(5) units in radius, then pick a target square based on whether that circle goes through the exact center of the square.

The first one because it represents a charging horse hitting someone off to their side with a lance.

Take the hypotenuse.

Am I the only one who "jumps" the horse over the squares, even if there's nothing there, and makes horse noises? Or like when I capture, I do the goring noises as the horse tramples the other piece underfoot?

D. A portal opens on the start and end square and the horsey just falls through

You missed. One straight then one diagonal

A two by three diagonal straight from the origin to the destination.

Usually A, or B. But C after a few drinks.

I do it as one space in a cardinal direction and then one diagonal in the same direction.

Left 5, up 2, right 4, for example. If there's not enough space on the board to do that, I can't move the horsey that way

X,Y

Mine goes forward, spits on the opposing king's face, then comes back to the desired square

With a gallup.

Option 1 and 2
Option 3 is for psychopaths

Have you considered, teleportation?

I always go around and attack from the back so they don't see it coming

Left ones. I always imagine a knight with his lance on the left or right while charging for the enemy and skewers them

Longest direction first for me, no matter where I go it is two steps then one.
