PRIZE PUZZLE FOR JUNE 2006

SUPER KNIGHT TRAVERSE

A knight move in chess is a jump of two squares in one direction and one square in a direction at right angles. But this puzzle involves a Super Knight that jumps over three squares in one direction and two at right angles. The Super Knight on square b1, for example, can jump to either square d4 or e3.

In this puzzle you are asked to find a sequence of seven jumps for the Super Knight marked 'S' on square b1 to get to the square marked * at g1. There are many ways this can be done but one route will be sufficient. Just list the squares in sequence.
