Question

Which is the only piece in chess that can jump to any square in an L shape?

A.

King

B.

Queen

C.

Rook

D.

Knight

Correct option is D


The correct answer is (d) Knight.
· The knight is unique in chess because it moves in an L-shape: two squares in one direction and then one square perpendicular to that direction, or vice versa.
· Unlike other pieces, the knight has the ability to "jump" over other pieces on the board, making it a versatile and unpredictable piece in the game.
· This movement allows the knight to reach squares that are not directly accessible to other pieces, giving it strategic importance.
Information Booster:
King:
· The king moves one square in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).
Queen:
· The queen moves any number of squares in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).
Rook:
· The rook moves any number of squares either horizontally or vertically.
