Each SVG is 16 × 16 with fill="currentColor". Keep it at 16 px or an exact multiple (32, 48) on whole pixels: a fractional size or position blurs it. The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden). For an icon that carries meaning on its own, such as an icon-only button, label the button, or give the SVG role="img" and an aria-label. More in how to use.

Meaning

Use it for

chess, chess knight, chess game, play chess, checkmate, knight

Alternatives

Don’t confuse with

chess-pawn: the pawn reads as a person at 16; the knight is the generic chess icon

Also fits

strategy: strategy games or chess
board game: chess

Not for

horse (use horse): chess-knight is chess
