      This, only I do one diagonal and then one straight.

      It weirds me out that people conceptualize it as turning a corner, the way OP has here.

        This has blown my brain. I have never considered doing the diagonal first.

        But then, my entire life I mounted a bicycle from the left, right leg over first. It occurred to me I did this so tried to mount my bike from the opposite direction. After finally figuring out how to even move my left left over the bars, I then fell over.

        So based purely on this experience, I shall continue to do forward, followed by diagonal.

      This is how they move in Xiangqi, Chinese Chess, because if the one straight in front of them is blocked, the move is illegal.
