The Knight's Tour is a fascinating mathematical puzzle played on a chessboard. The challenge is simple yet complex: Can a Knight visit every single square on the board exactly once?

This interactive tool visualizes the Warnsdorff's Rule, a heuristic algorithm that efficiently finds a solution. Watch the Knight leap across the board, leaving a green trail of visited squares behind.

Key Concepts:

• Backtracking: The algorithm explores paths and "backtracks" if it gets stuck.
• Graph Theory: This problem is a classic example of finding a Hamiltonian path in a graph.
• Heuristics: The Knight always chooses the move that leads to a square with the fewest onward moves.

How to Use

1. Set Start Position: Click any square on the board to place the Knight.
2. Start Tour: Click "Start Tour" to begin the animation.
3. Watch: Observe the Knight's path as it visits every square exactly once.

This tool demonstrates the power of algorithms in solving complex problems.
