Hope this isn't too far removed from a typical chess puzzle...
Task: solve a knight's tour that begins on f8 and ends on g8. I'll give a solution in a few days.

The Knight's Tour appeared in many Chess magazines year ago.
Actually it goes back to the 9th Century.
These are the sites that have the Knight's Tour, either online chess board with movement, or the history of.

Thanks for all the links! The knight's tour really is kinda interesting. A couple of observations:
1: The blindfold tour the boy performed was a memorized "reentrant" tour (a tour in which square 64 is a knight's move away from square 1).
2: Some of the programs you linked to allow you to designate square 1, but none of them allow you to also designate square 64 (in fact, I have yet to see a program that allows that!).

Here are 4 solutions, one for each of the possible 2nd squares:
Assertion #1: Most people can learn to solve a knight's tour using the technique I recommend.
Assertion #2: Many people (perhaps most people) can learn to do this blindfolded.
