“… There was a problem laid out on the
board, a six-mover. I couldn’t solve it, like a lot of my
problems. I reached down and moved a knight…. I looked down at the chessboard. The
move with the knight was wrong. I put it back where I had moved
it from. Knights had no meaning in this game. It wasn’t a
game for knights.”
– Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep
