    These horses were knighted. Be respectful and call them by their title!

    “So it’s called a ‘knight’?”

    “Yes.”

    “But it’s shaped like a horse, not a knight.”

    “Yes.”

    “And it can only move in an ‘L’ shaped pattern.”

    “…Yes.”

    “That’s not confusing at all.”

      Don’t forget that it’s the only piece that can jump over other pieces.

                Damnit I’ve said this exact thing.

                Or after the short dance I’ll just point a direction and be like “I’ll go that way”

                Those are literally the only two options. Super polite and wordy, or awkward and asocial.

    IIRC they were elephants originally, but the Europeans didn’t know what an elephant was. Forgot about Hannibal, I guess.

      No, the rooks where the ones who were elephants. Towers atop battle elephants.
