The Knight moves in an "L" shaped pattern, and its move can be broken into two moves...it moves one square in any (N,S,E,W) direction, followed by a move of two squares in a direction perpendicular to the 'one-square' move you started with.
You can also point out that the Knight is the only piece that is allowed to "jump" over other pieces in making its move, and will always go from a light square to a dark square, and vice versa.

You can move it to 8 differnet squeres along a cirkel. The Cirkel can be reached by moving the knight in an L- shaped move.
two/one stepps and one/two steps aside. The only criteria is that the square you move it to is free.

Two spaces in one direction (column or row), then one to the side, and the horse can jump over anybody unlucky enough to be in the way. :P
