Information About

Rudrata's




Rudrata's knight tour can be repeated on the lower half of the board so as to give a complete though not closed tour. A diagram showing it in this form, reflected left to right, appears in “a Persian manuscript of the early 19th century probably compiled in Northern India”, described by George Walker (1844). Another version, in which the half-board tour is rotated 180° on the lower board and slightly modified to join to the upper half appears in the Manasollasa of Somesvara III, described by F. Bernhauer, “Der Rösselsprung im Manasollasa”, Aus dem wissenschaftlichen Leben des Südasien-Instituts (1997).
