The correct name is the Knight; but it is sometimes called a horse. In the same way the Rook is sometimes call a castle.

Official chess rules, good chess books and high level chess players never refer to the piece as a horse. It is always called a knight.
The only time anyone uses the term "horse" is if they're trying to be cute. But 'horse' is not an official chess term. It is kinda cute though, depending on who's saying it.

I should not be an ash hollow and superb yur spulling.:) speedy lesson the midsection is amazingly significant. enable me teach you why. on an empty board placed a knight contained in the corner. it could pass to 2 squares. placed it on between the 4 midsection squares. it could pass to eight squares. try this with a Bishop. 7 contained in the corner. (it could no longer circulate to the sq. it truly is on.) 13 squares contained in the midsection. A King is 3 contained in the corner and eight contained in the midsection, yet on condition that different concern desire the midsection he would desire to cover in close to a corner. A rook would not care. 14 contained in the corner and 14 contained in the midsection. Queen is an element rook section bishop. The bishop section cares. it truly is needed on the only section. If it could pass for the duration of the midsection it gets there speedier than if it has to pass around. Now prepare.:)
