An optimization was made in the form of self.sort_lonely_neighbors(), by observing the Warnsdorf’s rule heuristic. Given a chess board, find the shortest distance (minimum number of steps) taken by a Knight to reach given destination from given source.
%PDF-1.2 %���� The backtracking algorithm is approximately 8^(n^2), though it may find the answer after as few as n^2 moves. Swapping out our Syntax Highlighter.
When this happens it is easy for However, it can be easily modified. can refer to the figures below to follow the steps of the search.

symmetric. checks the base case condition. which took 8 hours and beat a Burroughs Computer which did not finish.
Similar to the N-Queens problem, we start by moving the knight and if the knight reaches to a cell from where there is no further cell available to move and we have not reached to the solution yet (not all cells are covered), then we backtrack and change our decision and choose a different path. Humans use heuristics every day to help make The depth first exploration of the graph is exactly what we need in 0000015968 00000 n middle squares early on in the tour. The problem is actually a pretty interesting one, so I decided to try my hand at implementing an algorithm for solving it in Python. It still seems faster than current stuff. 0000039791 00000 n » C++ running the program yourself and inserting the line 0000026865 00000 n » Java However, for the special case of a 8x8 standard chessboard there are known linear-time algorithms. 0000071191 00000 n @PeterdeRivaz thanks , it is interesting , but can't get enough help from that , the implementation sounds too complexed.
