Well... do you know chess? It's a board game. You can try and google it. Or don't.

White-knighting, on the other hand, is a different phenomenon.

I thought it'a a well-known feature of any given forum. I also totally believe that people here are rather capable to google when they are interested in learning something new.

Yes, that's quite usual: can't be assed to learn, but is totally assed to make noise about "don't know what".

Indeed, an adequate male is protective. Especially of what he perceives as his.

Have you ever been on the receiving, so to say, side? If yes, how does it feel?

If somebody is at the receiving end of something grossly unfair, I may.
Generally though, most people are well able to fight their own fights.

Looking up the urban dictionary, white knighting certainly is a different phenomenon laugh
Especially the last meaning.

You first need to check out the situation carefully, and then jump to the rescue. It doesn't happen often!!! People are too selfish.
