How a Knight Visits Every Square Once


How a Knight Visits Every Square Once

Do you love chess as I do? =))
If so you'll understand this animation ;)

If not, well...what's a knight tour?
A knight’s tour is a sequence of moves of a knight on a chessboard such that the knight visits every square exactly once. The exact number of open tours on an 8×8 chessboard is still unknown.

  2. Yes, although haven't had anyone to play with in several years and therefore sure to be quite rusty.
