Comments.Text: @RewanDemontay Definitely a duplicate. The main answer there suggests "connected knights" but that doesn't really seem all that common. It doesn't exactly prove anything, but the phrase is lacking in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chess#C. It does make a fair amount of sense, though, so it is probably the best candidate.
