Alice and Bob are playing a game. Alice starts by placing a knight on the chessboard. Then they take turns moving the knight to a new square (standard chess rules apply: the knight moves in an "L" shape). The first player who cannot move the knight to a new square loses the game. Who wins if both players play optimally, and what is the winning strategy? This is quite the game theory challenge; watch the video for the remarkable solution!
