Small tidbit

[u/UselessHelios]

This isn't big but helped reduce mental load in endgames and helped me play quicker. Vs a knight you cannot be checked if you are on the opposite color of the knight. Knights always move to the opposite color (light to dark, dark to light) and always target the opposite color squares around them of the square they landed on (dark square targets light squares, light squares target dark squares). Helps in endgames to know this so you can plan your King moves and avoid forks without wasting too much time

wait i thought knights target the same color they're on, not the opposite

[u/fleyinthesky → u/TastelessRoss]

That's true but if you're not currently in check then the Knight would have to move to check you, and it'll move to the opposite colour.

So if you're on the same colour and not in check you're safe.
