(knight) — moves in an L-shaped
pattern. It moves 2 squares horizontally or vertical-
ly, then moves 1 additional square at a right angle
from its first move. At the end of its move, the knight
must land on a square of a different color than the
one it started from. The knight can move even if the
squares it moves through are occupied. (It is the
only piece that can "jump" another piece.)

(bishop) — can move any number of squares
diagonally, but it cannot move through a square
occupied by another piece.
