Question
A knight's tour is a sequence of moves of a knight on a chessboard (Links to an external site.) such that the knight visits every square once and only once. If the knight ends on a square that is one knight's move from the beginning square (so that it could tour the board again immediately, following the same path), the tour is closed, otherwise it is open.
The knight's tour problem is the mathematical problem (Links to an external site.) of finding a knight's tour. Creating a program to find a Knight's Tour is a common problem given to computer science (Links to an external site.) students at every major university. Normally, it is given in an introductory course in order to teach recursion. When using recursion, "backtracking" is accomplished via the run-time stack.
