How to Play

  1. Click "Start Game" to begin.
  2. Click on any square to place your knight.
  3. Move the knight by clicking on valid squares (L-shape movement).
  4. Try to visit all squares without repeating any.
  5. You can undo moves, but each undo adds a 10-second penalty.
  6. The game ends when you can't make any more moves or you've completed the tour.

Remember, a knight moves in an L-shape: 2 squares in one direction, then 1 square perpendicular to that. For a more detailed explanation, check out our complete rules page.
