Knight's tour is a piece-play concept: a puzzle that challenges a person to set a knight on an empty chessboard, and make the piece move around (as it moves in a chess game), but to visit every square only once. The knight's tour is the best known of a variety of tours and puzzles based on chess pieces. Ask whether the piece is active, coordinated, and serving a real plan.
