S**t, I voted the wrong one. May I have another try?
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

I think I have a tendency to point my knights where they are going. So they might start pointing forwards, but after I move say my King's knight, I might then point it to the left to retake on d4 or to the right to say attack the King, depending on the opening. Hmm, not sure if I'm giving away clues to my opponent   Huh

Sometimes I get to the chessboard and find my bishops looking back at me. My King's Bishop especially seemed to be giving me funny looks, but I'd point him to the top left so he'd know he's going to be financhettoed. However I've been weening myself off g3 systems and since then we've been getting on better. 

So my Knights are ready to rampage forward, my Bishops give me looks of disdain and the other pieces just seem to ignore me. Hmm ... just a moment, got to log off as someone in a white coat wants to talk to me  Smiley
  

Those who want to go by my perverse footsteps play such pawn structure with fuzzy atypical still strategic orientations

It's been awhile since the last poll...   

I'm curious which knight set-up is the most common worldwide. I suppose I could've settled for just 1, 3 and 7 - but why not use all ten options?  Smiley

Besides, over the years I've seen some strange knight-placings - perhaps because it's the only choice we have to show some individuality on the board!?  Wink
