On a 3×33 \times 3 chessboard, each square contains a Chinese knight with 12\frac{1}{2} probability. What is the probability that there are two Chinese knights that can attack each other? (In Chinese chess, a Chinese knight can attack any piece which is two squares away from it in a particular direction and one square away in a perpendicular direction, under the condition that there is no other piece immediately adjacent to it in the first direction.)
