Knight's graph

Okay kiddo, a Knight's Graph is a type of graph that looks like a chessboard, which is the game that kings and queens play. In chess, there is a special piece called a knight.

The knight can move in an L-shape, that means it moves two squares in one direction and one square in the other direction. So, if the knight is started at a square, it can move to eight different squares.

Now, if we make a graph that has each square of the chessboard as a point and connect two points if a knight can move from one square to the other, we get a Knight's Graph.

It's like drawing lines between squares on the chessboard, but only if a knight can move from one to the other.

These graphs are used in math and computer science, where they can help us solve problems that involve the knight's movements or patterns.

So, basically, a Knight's Graph is a special math picture that shows how a knight can move on a chessboard. It helps us solve problems and have fun with math!
