Four Knight Variant is a thoughtful, challenging single-player 2D puzzle game inspired by the unique movement of the knight in chess. Your task is simple in concept but complex in execution: place a knight on the board and move it according to standard chess rules, aiming to visit as many squares as possible before you run out of moves or legal options.
Each session challenges your planning and foresight — can you outthink the board and cover every square? With four difficulty modes adjusting the number of moves available, you'll find a level for every player, whether you're a casual puzzler or a seasoned chess strategist.
Features include:
Strategic Challenge: Move the knight across an 8x8 board, maximizing the number of visited squares.
♟️ Multiple Difficulties: Four modes to test your planning and adaptability.
Achievements: Unlock achievements based on how far you travel, your final position, and how many squares you conquer.
Plan Ahead: Use Shift + Click to plan future moves and craft your strategy.
Inspiration from Chess Lore: Reflecting the famous idea that while the King moves slowly and surely, the Knight demands cunning and foresight.
Inspired by the beauty and complexity of knight movement in chess, FourthKnight Variation offers a fresh twist for chess lovers, puzzle fans, and strategy gamers alike.
Are you ready to find out if you are a King — steady and unstoppable — or a true Knight — clever, daring, and relentless?
