The Knight’s Odyssey was inspired by the classic Knight’s Tour, a centuries-old chess puzzle in which the Knight must move across the board, landing on every square exactly once without repeating any. This mathematical and strategic challenge has fascinated chess players and puzzle lovers alike for generations. The Knight’s Odyssey builds on this concept by adding new elements—Guiding Stars and a final Castle destination—to create a more structured and goal-oriented experience that sharpens both logic and foresight.
