Four Knight Variant

A minimalist puzzle game built around the unique movement of the chess knight.

Four Knight Variant is a thoughtful single-player 2D puzzle game inspired by the knight’s movement in chess. Place your knight on an 8×8 board and plan a path that visits as many squares as possible before you run out of legal moves.

Simple to understand but challenging to master, each run asks you to think several moves ahead, adapt your route, and make the most of every square.

Knight Paths

A competitive strategy game where every knight move permanently changes the board.

In Knight Paths, every match begins with a choice: where your knight enters the board.

That opening decision shapes the rest of the game. Players then take turns moving their knights according to standard chess rules, with one crucial difference — every square can only be used once.

Once a square has been visited by either player, it is removed from play. As the board gradually closes, every move becomes more important. You must plan ahead, limit your opponent’s options, and avoid trapping yourself before they do.

Features

No-Return Movement — Every visited square is permanently removed from play.

Simple Rules, Deep Strategy — Familiar knight movement creates increasingly complex tactical decisions.

Meaningful Opening Choices — Choose your starting position during the opening phase and shape your strategy from the first move.

Short Competitive Matches — Compact rounds designed around planning, positioning, and adapting to your opponent.

Play Against People or AI — Compete online or practice against computer-controlled opponents.

Minimalist Presentation — Clean visuals and a calm atmosphere keep the focus on the board and your next move.
