I have spent my entire day off trying to code a brute force for this puzzle to no avail. Maybe one of you is smart enough to figure this out with actual logic.

no science or math

This is definitely math.

trying to code solutions to math problems instead of analyzing the math often leads to wasted time and no results

What board would you recommend then?

I understand now, as the weight of my failure drags me into another long night.

That's not a knight.

The movement is different, so, unfortunately, it will not solve this problem. Thank you for trying though.

If you focus on creating sets of diagonals it's not that difficult. Complete a 3 move grid, then move on a diagonal once, then create a 3 move grid, then move diagonally again along the previous diagonal axis, then the last 3 move grid to have a set of diagonal lines, rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat.

Don't know the actual solution, but this sounds like trying to find if a Hamiltonian path exists.

It's a Hamiltonian path problem. Those things are NP complete.

That seems to work, thank you.
