You complete Knight's Tour when the path includes every square exactly once; closure to the start is reported only when the profile explicitly requires a closed tour. The full Knight's Tour position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Knight's Tour terminal rule.

Complete guide
Knight's Tour uses the independently implemented NIST Knight's Tour rules v1 profile (R379). Knight's Tour is a complete deterministic browser game built around one knight visiting every board square exactly once through standard L-shaped chess moves without revisiting a cell.
Knight's Tour begins with a fixed board, one seeded starting square, and every other square unvisited with the move path numbered from one. The Knight's Tour deal identity and NIST Knight's Tour rules v1 are stored together. Restarting Knight's Tour reproduces this opening exactly.
During Knight's Tour, you move the knight two cells along one axis and one along the other into an unvisited in-bounds square, or undo the latest step. The Knight's Tour engine rejects profile violations, unavailable material, and every action attempted after Knight's Tour reaches a terminal result.
You complete Knight's Tour when the path includes every square exactly once; closure to the start is reported only when the profile explicitly requires a closed tour. The full Knight's Tour position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Knight's Tour terminal rule. In the Knight's Tour endgame, count onward degrees for the last unvisited cells and preserve a legal chain rather than greedily taking the nearest square. Check every remaining Knight's Tour action before committing because its terminal rule is enforced immediately.
A reliable Knight's Tour plan is to prefer destinations with few onward exits and keep edge or corner squares from becoming isolated behind the growing path. A Knight's Tour hint is legal and deterministic. The next Knight's Tour hint exposes one bounded action; it never claims a forced Knight's Tour win. A costly Knight's Tour mistake is to choose a central square with many immediate options while consuming the only future entry to a constrained corner. Undo supports studying that Knight's Tour decision, while restart preserves the original seeded Knight's Tour opening.
Knight's Tour uses one knight visiting every board square exactly once through standard L-shaped chess moves without revisiting a cell. That rule belongs to the Knight's Tour engine and storage identity rather than a cosmetic preset.
Visited squares cannot be entered again, and only the standard eight possible two-by-one knight offsets are legal.
Knight's Tour records its game ID, rules version, and seeded deal identity. Those Knight's Tour values recreate the same opening without a server request.
