Moves

Alert!: Drag and drop the knight to start the tour.

What's the knight's tour?

The idea is to place the knight down somewhere on the board, and to (by making legal knight moves) visit each square precisely once. Our knight will keep track of where it's been by leaving an afterimage. How much of the board can you tour?

See another take on all this at the Wikipedia.

As time goes on, we'll up the capacity of this site for knight's tour variants.

Have fun.
