Originally posted by Pattrick06 George Koltanowski, did his "Knights Tour" Blindfolded, that is on a large Chess board he would write in various names, i.e. a1=Spassky b3=Fischer a5= 8 diget number and so forth. George was remarkable, as a chess player and Ambassdor to the Chess world.
I had many conversations with George Koltanowski in the late 70's and winessed the Knights Tour many times. One thing he did was allow spectators to give every square any name they chose before he started and he would call out the move by saying things like "Karpov" to "giraffe" and so on until he completed the tour of the knight. He never missed.
I asked him how he did it and he said that he divided the board into four 4x4 squares amd simply memorized it.
For the puriststs, in the original puzzle you were required to start and finish on the same square, landing on each square once only ( except the start/end square ).
