-A knight's tour is a sequence of moves of a knight on a chessboard such that 
-the knight visits every square exactly once. If the knight ends on a square 
-that is one knight's move from the beginning square (so that it could tour 
-the board again immediately, following the same path), the tour is closed 
-(or re-entrant); otherwise, it is open.
