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.

Knight Game Instructions

HOW TO PLAY KNIGHT GAME. 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 78 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.
