Is he not...? Oh gosh - my chess is very rusty...they are both on black and knight moves 2+1? Mind you thinking bout it its probably 45 yrs since I last played...though surprised that I can’t recall ever playing chess with my lad. Mind you Age of Empires was his passion in his early teens...no time for chess.

Clearly not in the same class! :cool::ROFLMAO: Such ambiguity and incompleteness is not tolerable!
Knights are on B1 and G1 for White; B8 and G8 for Black.Where A1 is White Rook on Left (Black square).
They also move 2 space Forward or Backward and 1 space Left or Right OR 1 space Forward/Backward and 2 spaces Left or Right.
Before the Horizontal/Number became universal, the key to setting a board up was...Right Rook pos is White square (both White and Black) then White Queen on White square, Black Queen on Black square. Most common 1st move (White) was Kings (Pawn) Gambit.. 'PK4' in old terms now 'e4'.
