Knight Game

Your Score: 0
The Knight Game is a simple logic puzzle that can help improve concentration and memory. The object is to jump the Knight to all the squares on the chess board in as few moves as possible.
Note - On some browsers, the chess board appears slightly narrower than normal. This won't affect game play.
Instructions. The Knight starts in the upper-left corner of the board. To begin, click the first square where you want the Knight to jump.
Since this is a logic puzzle, you might want to take a moment and plan your strategy. Think about the allowable moves of the Knight and the most efficient pattern for jumping to every square on the board.
The number of jumps you make to complete the puzzle displays as Your Score at the bottom of the puzzle. My best score so far is 80 moves, but I bet you can beat that!
Allowable Moves. In case you are not familiar with chess, the Knight can be moved in an "L" shaped pattern around the board. You can move the Knight two squares in one direction, then one square in another direction.
The diagram at left shows the possible moves of a Knight positioned near the center of the board. The Knight can be moved to any of the "X"s in the picture.
Advanced Brain Training
I complete a quick, 10-minute Lumosity brain training session every morning. These training sessions exercise the different areas of my brain and prepare my mind for the day ahead. Over time, these sessions have sharpened my memory and other mental abilities in a significant and noticeable way. A Lumosity brain training "session" consists of several mind-expanding brain games designed by the scientists at Lumosity and automatically selected for my individualized training program. Examples include Birdwatching, Monster Garden, Lost in Migration, and Spatial Speed Match, just to name a few. Scientific studies show that Lumosity brain training measurably improves memory, attention, cognitive control, and processing speed. To help me track my own improvement, the "My History" section of Lumosity charts my brain's capabilities over time with easy-to-read graphs and Brain Performance Index (BPI) scores. Lumosity is free to try. Complete one brain training session a day for two weeks, and I guarantee you'll be hooked! Note - If you need help with Lumosity or have questions, feel free to send me an email through the Contact Me page at left. |
