    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.
