Horsey obviously moves in 3D, that's how it jumps over other pieces
75 0 ReplyI thought they originally teleported, but I was recently informed it was actually tetris blocks.

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...
49 0 ReplyThat's hilarious 😂
2 0 ReplyHa. They got you. My dad taught that it's 2 spots in one (cardinal) direction, then 1 spot in another direction (demonstrating that the other direction has to be 90° to the original direction).

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

You missed. One straight then one diagonal
20 0 ReplyThis, 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.
8 0 ReplyThis has blown my brain. I have never considered doing the diagonal first.
But then, my entire life I mounted a bicycle from the left, right leg over first. It occurred to me I did this so tried to mount my bike from the opposite direction. After finally figuring out how to even move my left left over the bars, I then fell over.
So based purely on this experience, I shall continue to do forward, followed by diagonal.

This is how they move in Xiangqi, Chinese Chess, because if the one straight in front of them is blocked, the move is illegal.
8 1 ReplyThat really cuts down on the utility of the horsey.

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.
13 0 ReplyUsually A, or B. But C after a few drinks.
11 0 ReplyThe long bit, then the short bit.
9 0 ReplyLeft 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
9 0 ReplyD. A portal opens on the start and end square and the horsey just falls through
9 0 ReplyAm 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?

Why not triangulate?

Depends if you trained it for dressage.
