Hi,

     The 'KT' or knight of traditional western chess.  The Chinese also use a 'KN' or knight that moves slightly different than its western counterpart.  You may like to visit my web page - link below?  See KT, BS, RO, QU, PA and KI.

Answer 5

It's the Knight and I don't know why because there's the horse, but they're no knight on it!!

In France, it's just call a Horse (Cheval).

I'm French so I very often call it a Horse...by mistake.

It's like the Rook...what's a rook??

In France, it's just call a Tower (Tour).

I'm French so I very often call it a Tower...by mistake.

(the Bishop is a Fool in French (Fou), so I call it the crazy guy)
