Traversing a grid
$begingroup$
I'm wondering if there's a way to check if every square of a board can be visited such that every time you move to a new square, it can't be in the same row, column, or diagonal as the previous square. If it can, how could I find a sequence of squares that works? I've ascertained that it can't be done if $text{rows} + text{columns} leq 6$. It kind of reminds me of the n queens problem, but I'm not sure how to proceed.
