The white knight is on a mission to capture all 5 queens in as few moves as possible. Black Queens do not move. The trick? The white knight can only go onto spaces not guarded by a queen. When the white knight captures, it becomes invincible. For example: Nxd4 is a valid move but Nxd4 and then Nf5 would be invalid since the Q on f6 guards f5. How fast can the White Knight complete his mission? Write down your name and # of moves.
PS. This “style” of chess puzzle is taken from the Scholarmate magazine for kids and I like their fun and novel approach to chess tactics.
I believe I have the solution, but there were many people claiming faster white knights. If you think you have a faster solution, please let me know!!
