Funny thing is. I actually coach kids chess but it's a gig I started a few weeks ago after I played my first otb and got fourth place so I decided to actually embark on teaching kids chess since not many chess players make good teachers.The Knight's are tricky to understand and yea the pawn structure does affect the Knight as well for example Outposts...Most outposts are actually defended by pawns especially two pawns or so and when a Knight wants to maneuver to an outpost it has to consider the number of moves to get there and sometimes it may take a couple of moves which will cost you time but there's a way you'll consume time and still not be in too much trouble and guess that happens in which kinds of pawn structures,CLOSED pawn structure have you ever noticed in a Closed game where pawns lock each other it's usually the Knight's which are used more even if you check peoples games let's use the Advanced French for example...The French player makes up to 5 Knight moves in the opening because the structure is closed and they have time to make simple maneuvers from this square to the other and that's only made possible by the pawn structure which is closed so Knight's perform Better in Closed games than in Open Games and are usually the pieces with the most value at the time.
