The Yalta knight jumps diagonally through a vertex
The Yalta knight is a piece that moves by combining a rook move and a bishop move. This rule allows the piece to reach a square that shares only one vertex with the initial square, which surprises players accustomed to the traditional game. For example, a knight placed on e9 can thus arrive directly on the d5 square.
