3D Chess: The knight's tour is when the knight, alone on the chessboard, makes 64 moves, landing on each square once and only once. There are several solutions to this problem. The simple algorithm I use finds different solutions depending on which square you start.knights_tour_in_3D.zip The algorithm in plain C is available: knights_tour_inC.zip and a 16-bit version written entirely in assembler (will not run on a 64-bit system except in a virtual box) is also available knights_tour_16bit.zip more here> knight's_tour
