What the fuck
This is cheating
This is the only way. Deal with it.
Horsey obviously moves in 3D, that's how it jumps over other pieces
Take the hypotenuse.
I wish I was high on potenuse
Get off your hypotenuse.
Hey I said that!
Take the high pot, and use what?
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...
That's hilarious 😂
Ha. 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.
3D Curve. Horseys jump...
This is the correct answer. It is literally the point of the piece.
Holy hell anarchy chess is on lemmy
It's one of the most active communities on my instance, which, as someone that never came across it on Reddit, has been hilarious.
Always has been
You missed. One straight then one diagonal
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.
This 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.
That really cuts down on the utility of the horsey.
What if the diagonal is blocked?
This is the way
Option 1 and 2
Option 3 is for psychopathsI'm a psychopath????
Yes, welcome to the club
I always go around and attack from the back so they don't see it coming
This is why I try to kill all the horses first.
That's the traditional "Nothing Personnel"
A two by three diagonal straight from the origin to the destination.
As the
crowhorsey fliesThank you.
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.
Usually A, or B. But C after a few drinks.
Right Up Left Up Right
he a baller
Thanx.
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
The long bit, then the short bit.
Why not triangulate?
I do it as one space in a cardinal direction and then one diagonal in the same direction.
Is it cardinal or orthogonal?
Porque no los dos?
D. A portal opens on the start and end square and the horsey just falls through
Yes.
Have you considered, teleportation?
It's nothing personnel, kid
:o
I move in circles around the board and then home in on the desired squares. We all know horses could move however they want if they weren't so stupid
Depends if you trained it for dressage.
Mine goes forward, spits on the opposing king's face, then comes back to the desired square
It just teleports. This proves when chess was invented it was far ahead of time.
I make an S shape
Longest direction first for me, no matter where I go it is two steps then one.
I do one up and then one to up-right
Left ones. I always imagine a knight with his lance on the left or right while charging for the enemy and skewers them
Depends if the horse has a boner or not.
Google wormhole
Holy hell
New hypothetical spacetime structure just dropped
I always go with 1st option when I'm doing the move in my head.
With a gallup.
It teleports.
X,Y
I don't know why, but for me it's the one on the left
Yes
