      This is how they move in Xiangqi, Chinese Chess, because if the one straight in front of them is blocked, the move is illegal.

      This, only I do one diagonal and then one straight.

      It weirds me out that people conceptualize it as turning a corner, the way OP has here.

        This has blown my brain. I have never considered doing the diagonal first.

        But then, my entire life I mounted a bicycle from the left, right leg over first. It occurred to me I did this so tried to mount my bike from the opposite direction. After finally figuring out how to even move my left left over the bars, I then fell over.

        So based purely on this experience, I shall continue to do forward, followed by diagonal.

          I’m still trying to get into the zone where I can just teleport to the correct squares without having to think about it.

          Last time I rode a bicycle I almost wound up in a duck pond, so based on that experience I’m probably doomed to be a patzer for life. :-)
