What it attacks

An empty board and one piece: click every square it attacks.

What it trains

The geometry tactics are built from. A fork is easy to spot once you already see every square a knight reaches, and invisible while each one has to be worked out.

How to use it

Click every square, then check. The whole set has to be right: the board then marks what you got, what you claimed in error, and what you left out.

Knight, bishop and king, mixed or one at a time. The rook and the queen are left out deliberately: a rook sees the same fourteen squares from everywhere, and a queen sees up to twenty-seven, which is clicking rather than seeing.
