It would appear that rooks and bishops move the same way - no more straight versus diagonal. Is this right? How do the knights move? Is it to the square that is more or less than 90 degrees or is it either?

Rooks move along the faces of the cells, so they can move in 6 directions.

Bishops move from point to point, staying on the same color.

that why there are three bishops so you an have one on each of the three colors - that is also why the bishops which places with the knights

this still doesn't answer the knight question, the answer to which I'm very curious to know!
Knight
A knight moves to a closest location that is on a different rank, file and diagonal. The 12
permissible locations can be identified as the end points of imaginary paths which extend across
2 faces in one direction and one face in another (outward pointing) direction. It moves directly to
the new location, “jumping over” any pieces that happen to be in its imaginary path.
