The horse move like that because earlier in Indian armies cavalries were used to jump over the walls. you know step back take a long jump and quickly move sideways to prevent tripping. the horse in chess mimicks this pattern only.
Similarly Elephant(in west known as Bishop) just tramples over the enemy but due to limited/restrained vision it moves in one direction only.

You want to screw the civilizational roots of India and of the Indians. through agriculture, or other ways. Whatever your fascination with torturing Andhra, me and India. I doubt if you are doing that. South India or andhra. definitely. including my community. or especially my community.

I have a theory as to why chess players point with their middle fingers: When moving pieces, it's only natural that they grab them with their thumb and index finger, so they point with their middle finger in case they need the other two fingers for holding a piece while pointing.

I know the answer of the first question, it is a subtle repressed expression of the passive-aggressiveness of the player. Coz simply waving your middle finger right upfront at your opponent's face is a more active-aggressive approach. Chess players are sneaky.

-How much should we read into an AIs ability to play chess? -
-Just because the 3600 rated Cyborg thinks its a good position 25 moves into the future doesnt mean its a good move for you-

The question must be
1. Which piece has more points?
2. Which one you should move first before developing major pieces?
With the main question is Bishop or Knight with the questions above.

-Why chessplayers point with the middle finger? - Has an obvious response.
It-s the only realistic way to point at the board -with a piece in your hand-, so the habit sticks.

Lol. he wants us to believe that we are -the free world-. except we aren't free, for instance, of not hating on your country and on your own people. you disgusting traitor

Funny how Evans gambit is now making a soft return in some top games. It's revealing how you never know with chess if some line buried will resurface against all odds

middle finger thing. I have a theory, it is rather dropping 2 additional fingers players use to lift the piece, kind of muscle memory thing maybe.
