The correct answer is

Queen

The correct answer is Knight.

 Key Points

  • Knight:-
    • The chess piece that can jump to any square in an L shape is the knight.
    • It moves two squares in one direction, then one square perpendicular to that direction. This movement pattern is unique to the knight and makes it a very versatile piece. 
    • The knight is also the only piece that can jump over other pieces.
    • This means that it can attack pieces that are on squares between its starting position and its destination. This makes the knight a very powerful piece, especially in crowded positions.

  Additional Information

  • King:
    • The most important piece on the board. The game is over if the king is captured (checkmated).
    • The king can move one square in any direction.
  • Queen:
    • The most powerful piece on the board.
    • The queen can move any number of squares in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).
  • Rook:
    • A very strong piece that can move any number of squares horizontally or vertically.
    • The rook is often paired with the queen to deliver checkmate.
