    In the game of chess, what is the fewest number of knights that can control the entire board?

    Question #8550. Asked by Matt. (Dec 08 00 3:41 AM)


    Moleman

    		I'll spell out the twelve knights:
    Row 2: 1 knight in column 3; Row 3: 4 knights in columns 3,4,6,7; Row 4: 1 knight in column 6; Row 5: 1 knight in column 3; Row 6: 4 knights in columns 2,3,5,6; Row 7: 1 knight in column 6
    Hope that makes sense.
