      Does anyone have a way to get better at visualizing the knight? It’s a tricky piece and I tend to either not see forks from my opponent or to my opponent.

      • There’s an app called “Hungry Horses” which is basically a chessboard with some pieces and you need to make the knight jump around and get items as quickly as possible while avoiding the opponent’s pieces. It basically isolates the knight’s movement so it’s a good way to practice.

        • Do you have any other suggestions for chess training apps? I’ve been playing an app called “Pocket Chess”, where the puzzles are setup for you to find checkmate in 2 moves for most of the puzzles. Then the harder ones go anywhere from 3 to 5 moves til checkmate. I’m not sure if I’m wasting my time because it’s not a full chess board.

          If you recommend that let me know… and if you have any insight into that or any more apps like “Hungry Horses” I would love to hear them.

          • Honestly the best thing is to probably just play more games and learn from the mistakes each time. Not really sure about other training apps tbh.
