LCC '22 Contest 5 J5 - Knight Fork
View as PDFFred Lever just learned that knights in Chess are very good at forking, which is when they attack multiple pieces simultaneously. To practice this skill, he uses a by
board with
rooks on it. For simplicity, the top-left cell is denoted as
and the bottom-right as
. Every rook is placed on a distinct cell
on the board. Fred wants to know how many cells he can place a knight on the board that forks two or more rooks, without the knight being attacked (or on the same cell of a rook).
Remember, knights in Chess may move from a cell
to cells
or cells
and rooks may move from a cell
to cells
or cells
where
is a nonzero integer. However, all pieces must stay on the board.
