This micro drill is known as knight sight. It is designed to make the squares that a knight can move to ‘pop out’. Begin by placing a knight on a1 and physically hit the square that it can move to (c2 and b3) with your finger. See the given figure for your reference. Then move the knight to a2 and repeat the process. Continue until you reach a8 and then move back to b1, going row by row until you reach h1.
Once your knight meets your standards, you are ready to move on the next step. Place the knight on d5 and calculate the minimum number of moves that it takes the knight to d4. You can prove that it takes exactly three moves. By doing this you will be able to move to every position on chess board, when required.
