Thanks for the correction. It seems Koltanowski could do it from ANY starting square.
The Knight's Tour is HARD.
ADK
It is easy once you get the pattern down. I can do it because I got a couple patterns from a book I have
The fact that there is a known solution that can be looked up and practiced doesn't make the feat of finding the solution on your own with no outside help any less difficult.
Hi, Loomis: Of course, cheater_1 one didn't say that he found the solution himself with no outside help, did he. And he is a cheat, after all, according to his own Profile, so . . . (He must do his cheating somewhere else, I guess, because it does not appear he plays here. Maybe he does all his cheating in Midwest, Wyoming, I dunno.)
grats
i did too! 130 moves
Koltanowski would also take the name of cities, dates, words etc from the audience put one item on each square, turn his back to the board and do a knight's tour by calling out the item rather than the square.
I have successfully completed the KNIGHT'S TOUR!!! This is a puzzle that requires diligence and BRAINS..both of which I have a surplus of.
It requires you to move the knight around the board and land on EVERY square only ONCE. I have added this to my portfolio of accomplishments after several months of trying. Many people have done this before, so it's far from impossible--but it's dang tough. I do believe it was Korchnoi (I may be wrong) who could do it BLINDFOLDED!
Do you have what it takes? Follow the link to give it a try.

Gas prices are just too high and my ESCALADE costs $80 to fill up...that's a CRIME.
I don't care, I have a bike.
