Having read the Knight 2 King essay and worked through the threads on 
the subject, I felt that most of my thoughts had already been voiced 
by other contributors until a little thought surfaced and flitted 
across my consciousness today.

The knight in chess has moves which are totally different to the 
other pieces, quirky, often unpredictable and allow the knight to get 
into areas of a chess game which no other piece can reach. It is 
perhaps a maverick piece in that situation.

Ron is certainly quirky and unpredictable. Considering the chess game 
as a metaphor for the Second War, will this element of his nature be 
of value, will he indeed be a maverick who gets into areas of the 
action which no one else reaches or am I trying to draw parallels 
where none exist?
