Hey! At least it wasn’t a bishop or pawn asking. Our rook friend there will get there eventually, at least as long as there’s no one in the way.

it must be hard to be a bishop. half the world is inaccessible to you.

What’s the joke? That knights move awkwardly?

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago

The joke is basically that the rook could reach the destination in 2 moves instead of tracing the knight's moves (which would take 6 turns).
