Everyone always thinks of knights as moving in ‘L’ shapes, but I don’t. I think of them as moving in half-Y shapes: one orthogonal move followed by one diagonal move with a matching orthogonal component.

Of course, they don’t really move either of these ways: they just jump from one square to another, with no particularly designated intermediate squares.

I think the same way; I always kind of reckoned that the knight combined one step of rook-like movement and one step of bishop-like movement, I think.
