no it’s yoshi 

A Knight fork is the best fork.
I believe they create a lot of the chaos.
Folks will say that, and then prioritise killing off the enemies Knight that gets too close.
Knights are better in closed games, bishops in open games.
It is harder for opponents to visualise (and anticipate) the squares that it can attack, it can jump over pieces and it’s the best looking piece.
I end up doing a folk by accident 😆
Can't defend against the Knight with a shield. have to either move the targeted piece, or making taking it too expensive to stomach. Any other piece can be blocked by a pawn shield.
Bc knights quickly get you into and out of trouble. Ideally, they mask a setup for the bishop hammer.
