What challenge did the green knight offer to the members of the Round Table?
At first, they say nothing. The poet/narrator excuses them, saying that they kept silent out of courtesy. In reality, it would seem they were all afraid. The Green Knight knows this, and he mocks their cowardice. This prompts King Arthur to accept the challenge himself. Sir Gawain stops the king, however, saying that it would be better for him to die than the king. The other knights begin speaking at this point, saying that Sir Gawain is right, and very brave. After that King Authur accepted the challenge and the green knight died.
In sir gawain and the green knight when the green knight first offers his challenge gawain steps in for arthur because?
When the Green Knight first offers his challenge, none of the knights at Camelot are brave (or foolish) enough to accept it. It sounds a bit iffy - and iffy challenges are ones you think twice about.But Arthur is horrified that a challenge has gone unanswered at his Christmas Party (or Hogmanay - whatever): he accepts it himself.Gawain - who is the sensible one (actually everybody is sensible compared to Arthur, the poem calls him child3ered - which probably means childish) tells Arthur that if the King accepts the challenge, and it turns out to be dodgy (which it does) then the death of the King will mean the end of Camelot.Gawain agrees to take the fall, because if the King gets juiced it all goes down the chute.This is a very funny poem - it is a shame that more teachers don't notice that.

In a game of chess should you develop knights or bishops first?
Most people would advise to develop the knights first, primarily because they are a shorter range piece than the bishops. Getting the knights out first will let them get onto the other side of the board on their second moves, whereas a bishop has the ability to get to the other side on its first move. However, as you improve your game you will become more comfortable with different openings, some of which develop knights first, some of which develop bishops first, and you may find that you prefer developing your bishops earlier. If you are beginning you probably should start with the knights at first though.
