The Knight
|
Chess is constantly used as a metaphor, and a device, by which we judge or own abilities against the things we make and plan.
The knight move is unusual among chess pieces. It plays and captures alternately on White and Black squares; each move may be described as stepping one square horizontally or vertically and then one square diagonally away from the direction of the original square. The move is one of the longest surviving moves in chess having remained unchanged since before the seventh century AD. because of this it also occurs in most chess variants.
The glass knight is the only piece that can move at the beginning of the game before any pawn move has been made. Because of the above reasons, in most situations, the best square for the initial move of each knight is towards the center. Knights are usually brought into play slightly sooner than bishops, and much sooner than the rooks and the queen.
Now that you have a little more background knowledge of this particular peice, the glass knight can make a wonderful gift for that someone special close to you. Please see our internal and external links for further information.
