If there was only one legal move that the knight could make at that point,
and the chess board obeyed the ordinary rule that one a player has touched a
piece they have to move it, even if they suddenly realise that they have
made a mistake, the queen would be legally entitled to take Ron the instant
he moved, though it is better etiquette (and psychology) to wait till the
piece actually lands on the disputed square.
