The Horse

One step straight, then one diagonally — unless its leg is blocked.

  1. The horse moves one point straight and then one point diagonally outward (a 日 shape). From the middle it has eight moves.
  2. If a piece stands right next to the horse, it blocks the horse's leg (蹩马腿). The soldier on e5 stops the jumps to d6 and f6.
  3. Hop your horse to collect the stars.
  4. Find a horse move that attacks the chariot and the cannon at the same time.
  5. A piece stands right next to the horse in the direction it wants to go. Can it jump that way?
