Horsey obviously moves in 3D, that’s how it jumps over other pieces
I thought they originally teleported, but I was recently informed it was actually tetris blocks.
- rockerface 🇺🇦 ( @rockerface@lemm.ee ) 14•1 year ago
In some editions, they can also clip through the tiles and move under other pieces
My mom says I can’t play backroom tetris anymore.

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…

You missed. One straight then one diagonal
- Sentrovasi ( @Sentrovasi@kbin.social ) 6•1 year ago
This is how they move in Xiangqi, Chinese Chess, because if the one straight in front of them is blocked, the move is illegal.
- livus ( @livus@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
That really cuts down on the utility of the horsey.

What if the diagonal is blocked?
- livus ( @livus@kbin.social ) 3•1 year ago
This, only I do one diagonal and then one straight.
It weirds me out that people conceptualize it as turning a corner, the way OP has here.
- LoamImprovement ( @LoamImprovement@beehaw.org ) English10•1 year ago
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?
- phi1997 ( @phi1997@kbin.social ) 7•1 year ago
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

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