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

Take the hypotenuse.

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...

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

3D Curve. Horseys jump...

Holy hell anarchy chess is on lemmy

You missed. One straight then one diagonal

Option 1 and 2
Option 3 is for psychopaths

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

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

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.

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

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

The long bit, then the short bit.

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?

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

Right Up Left Up Right

Why not triangulate?

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

Have you considered, teleportation?

Yes.

It just teleports. This proves when chess was invented it was far ahead of time.

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

Depends if you trained it for dressage.

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

I move in circles around the board and then home in on the desired squares. We all know horses could move however they want if they weren't so stupid
