Try it sometime. The game will let you because it’s a valid move

That is what Magnus Carlsen would want you to believe.

Only once you convince it it's actually a ghost and it can go wherever it wants but then you risk a haunting.

Can confirm: I'm haunted by a guy on a horse

Don't be silly, basically you can get off the horsey and go around the obstacle, but the this doesn't work for eg a pawn cause what are you going to do, split in two?

While is this technically possible, it takes too much time (about 2-3 turns depending on the size and fitness of the horsey).

That's what they don't tell you. "Horseys can jump, the Germans call them The Jumper." Yes, but at what cost?

Play on an offline physical chessboard and the game will let you do anything you want.
