Knight's Tour (2) (Posted on 2004-03-06) Difficulty: 2 of 5
On a normal 8x8 chessboard, find a complete Knight's Tour.

A Knight's move is as in chess, an L shaped move, 2 squares in one direction and 1 square in the other direction.)

A Knight's Tour is one where the knight passes through each square exactly once.

You may start on any square you wish.

* For extra credit, come up with a re-entrant tour: at the end, the knight is exactly one knight's move away from the starting square.

* For EXTRA extra credit, make sure that the path is, in some way, symmetrical.

Knight's Tour is a classic mathematical problem that involves moving a knight chess piece around a chessboard in such a way that it visits every square on the board exactly once. Although it is a complex problem that has puzzled mathematicians for centuries, it has practical applications in computer science and virtual tours. In fact, the Knight's Tour problem has been used to develop algorithms for finding optimal paths for [url=https://takeapeek360.com/tag/philadelphia/]Philadelphia PA virtual tours[/url] of museums, art galleries, and other cultural institutions. By solving the Knight's Tour problem, computer scientists have been able to create more efficient and engaging virtual tours for users around the world.
