Because they think you just have to visit all the squares in no particular order.
But it says right there which square you have to visit next.

#72How to get it to C8? Gah!
Took me ages. What finally helped me was to work backwards from c8. What squares can get to c8? Which of those squares can I eliminate (e.g. because to get there I'd have to be on a square covered by the queen) and so on.
That's how I had to do almost every move. It's really a graph search!

#77I love the amount of chess nerds on Hacker News. If anyone is in the East Bay of SF and likes chess, I run a chess club in Walnut Creek, hit me up!
Small world! Is this the one at La Scala I've been hearing about?
Yes! Come by tonight, 7p! There's actually a former YC guy that shows up sometimes, too.

I'm in the East Bay, but just a little bit too far West for that to work out for me. :(
Berkeley Chess School does lots of casual tournaments (and classes): https://www.berkeleychessschool.org/programs/adult-chess-tou... (One of my kids does a lot with BCS and loves them) There's also a small sidewalk chess scene on Telegraph: https://www.berkeleyside.org/2022/01/30/community-chess-tele...
Awesome, thanks for the tip

#79I mapped out the structure of the board as a graph of which squares you can get to from which other squares. It's surprisingly stringy without all the squares forbidden by the queen placement.

#80Ok, shameless plug. I did a pretty “popular” version of this.
