How to deal with opponent's knights??

I noticed that i win most of the games in which i kill opponent's knights in the start. . is there a way to keep them knights away from ur ranks??

p.s. i lose most ov the games in which knights come to mate my king :/

I found studying tactics to be most effective, so I could instantly recognize the visual pattern for knight movements/forks. Then it's a lot easier to deal with them, because otherwise they can have very surprising moves.

Knight on Knight. Sounds like you should have titled this thread Knights gone wild.

Control the center that should slow them down. Make sure you have more active pieces than your opponent so that makes them think twice about those attacks. Otherwise your left with pawns dealing those knights.

Knight mates your king you say. Sounds like the knight is not the source of your problem. Study mating patterns so you can see them coming and defend against them. Else you will be back here next month saying how to deal with Bishops. And you most likely are not developing your pieces as early as possible. If you are then they should be having serios problems with these attacks that your are missing in the game.

Question? The Kings knight is the kings best defender when it does castle. So what happens to your knight..... even better what happens to your opponents King knight as it removes a major defender making it easier for you to attack?

It is a mental thing. See this is the story. Once something works on you here at chess.com everybody will copy. The find out by looking at your games you played as they can see them also.

Google (or some other search bing and etc) Outpost and Knights. Look up on how to take away a knights outpost this should stop your fear. Info in chess will always destroy fear in chess. Then your oppponents will have to find something new when they review your games.

Alrighty. . I'll do. . Thanks :) u'r a Gud bishop :D

If you read his post carefully you would notice he has a mental fear of them. That is why he is getting mated in a game. Any master of the use of the knights is going to find a way to the other side with them sooner or later.

Also if you read his post you would figure his opponents are looking at his games as this happens to him several times. Which is a norm on chess.com.

With the knowledge of what is happening his fear is going away and with it his problems. So when he does make a mistake and let a knight get an outpost he should not panic as he knew what he did wrong. When his opponents keep using the same strategy that is starting to annoy him he can adjust as he knows they are looking at his games and can figure out which one and fix it by avoiding their plans. Problem solved!

try not to leave too many weak squares, and seriously consider each pawn move and what square it weakens, and what it gets you.
