A knight is a chess piece that moves in an L-shaped pattern—two squares in one direction and one square perpendicular to that—making it the only piece that can jump over other pieces. It matters in chess strategy because its unique movement makes it valuable for controlling the board and creating tactical opportunities that other pieces cannot.
