The knight is shaped like a horse and is also sometimes referred to as the horse. Each player is dealt two knights at the beginning of each game. The knight starts by standing next to the rook on both sides and moves in an “L” shape fashion. This means that it takes two straight steps and then one to the right or the left. Similarly, it can also move one to the right or left and then 2 steps forwards or backwards. The knight is quite powerful, in that, your opponent might not notice that you have strategically placed your knight in a powerful position. With this movement pattern, it can jump over pieces as stated previously, which if used with a well- calculated strategy, makes this a most dangerous piece. It can capture a piece only if the victim lies on the last square. The White Knight jumps over it’s own pawns to land on f3. Can you see the L-shape? Knight Jumping over A King Here the white knight jumps over his own King, to arrive at a square where he is most active. NB: By no means is jumping over a chess piece a capture. The knight can only capture an enemy piece on the same square it lands on. Knight Jumping Over A Pawn At the beginning of a chess game the Knights may jump over their own pawns in aid of development as seen in our previous example. All in all, Knights are very agile and should be respected due to their tricky and surprising nature. The ability for the Knights to jump over other pieces are what makes these squid-like creatures so intriguing.

Can a horse jump over enemy pieces?The Knight is the only piece in the game of Chess that can skip over the other pieces (much like a horse gallops over obstacles) when it moves.

Can you jump over the pawns?Each type of chess piece has its own method of movement. A piece moves to a vacant square except when capturing an opponent's piece. Except for any move of the knight and castling, pieces cannot jump over other pieces.
What pieces can jump over pawns?The knight is the only piece that can jump over other pieces. A player can choose to move a Pawn either one or two squares forward on the first move but may move it only one square forward each subsequent time.
