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
