Wait ... Can I play chess using nothing but knights? ๐Ÿค”

I wouldn't capture the king. I would trample him under a stampede of horses.

Well in theory you could lose your queen, bishops and rooks, and promote all 8 pawns to knights. Your opponent would likely have to play along, possibly even doing the same.
