kuyan its possible to think about knight as a piece that moves to "the closest square to him, not on rook lines and bishop lines"
Tonight on Jeoprady, there was a question about what one-letter abbreviation, which is not K, is used for a Knight in Chess. I was surprised that no one at all got the correct answer. Someone who didn't choose the question jumped in with the answer L, which was wrong. Even if none of them knew Chess, simple phonics should have led someone to conclude that the answer is N.
Which direction should the Knights face OTB? Away from the player or leftward?

I suppose this is a list of names the knight is known by in different languages. While I recognize a few, I don’t know what language most of them are. Would you be able to supply that information too?
