technically not an original name/idea but hear me out.. there might also be some bias with this one because the knight is my favorite piece 😅

either an actual octopus or a knight with eight legs, (I prefer the latter)
high rating, maybe 2000-2500?

always moves the knight on move 1, as both white and black..
can always find the best knight move in the position..
will try and play a knight move as much as possible, without giving too much of the advantage to the opponent..
tries to find sound sacrifices for the other pieces, (mainly bishops and rooks), and tries maintaining the knight for as long as possible

feedback would be greatly appreciated thumbs_up

Would it also be more willing to make knight sacrifices/trades or would it keep them on the board for as long as possible

ooooh interesting

#

probably would keep them on the board for as long as possible, maybe looking deeper to sacrifice the other pieces
