The L Shape piece - Knight

Knights are more special in terms of the way they move. They move in a L-shape formation, the only pieces that allow you to "hop" across other pieces. That means 2 steps in a direction and either left or right to that. A small trick to play your knight is to note that they will be placed on alternate squares. For example, your knight was on a black square before it moved. The square that it moves to, will be a white one. Interesting, isn't it. Interlocking knights can prove to be extremely dangerous to your opponent unless he finishes your knights off. Interlocking knights simply mean that they rest in a rectangular shape. This is because they cover a huge area when in the center of the board.
