It is basically unheard of to start a game with the Knights' Round. It is dangerous to send them out as errants when they are always the strongest, sneakiest pieces on the board.
Most people see the Queen as the killer with the instincts and abilities to get it done. But, in reality, her ability to move so freely is hard won. It takes many pawns clearing the path to get her out in position.
No such trouble with the knights.
They hop right over the heads of the pawns, back-track in ever stronger L-patterns...taking control...jamming up the competition...and lowering the swords, lances, and maces with gentle ease...taking position wherever they are needed with the most amazing grace.
Demoralizing.
Did you lose your Queen, Black?
How did that happen?
