Here's what I was talking about in the shoutbox.

 

The night would first get in position to move by following the blue line to the 4 corners. Then it would carry out it's normal move path along the red line (left 2 forward 1) then it would undo the prep move by following the green line back to the center of the destination square.  The diagonal prep moves allow it to move without knocking over anything next to or in front of it. This mostly only applies to the Knight since it's the only one that regularly jumps other pieces. You would need something similar if someone is going to Castle thier king (which is beyond any chess playing I've ever done).
