I love the rooms where opposite bishops can interact. The steps needed to contain the knights include crenellations and long hallways. Clever!

I can't help but notice that the knights are only trapped if one presumes that the turn in their movement must land on an open square, but if they can jump to their destination they're free to roam the board.

wrong

In chess, a Knight's movement is not impeded by a piece sitting on the 90° angle of their move. It simply moves to a square 1 away in one direction and 2 away in two directions. So can you explain what is "wrong"?

Thank you for explaining the rules of the knight. Now go and apply them to the picture. See if you can get any knight to roam the board
