On a 10x10 "chessboard" a token is placed on the leftmost square of the bottom line a.k.a. a1.
You can move said token either one step to the right or one step up within the same column or one step diagonally (combining right and up).
To make it clear from c4 you may advance in one step to c5, c6 or d6.

How many distinct routes exist to reach the top line's rightmost square (i.e. j10?

How silly of me.  I've altered my post to avoid confusion.
