Knights Tour
Investigate the following modified Knights Tour problem. In this investigation, you will need to know how a knight moves on a chessboard. Basically it can only move two places forward and one place left o right, just like the letter L.

If the knight starts in the Top Left square and eventually ends up in the Bottom Right square of the chessboard with the following conditions:
1. It can move in any direction (including backwards) as long as it is a legal move
2. It cannot make the same move on the board.

Calculate the total possible moves that it can make. Try and use Permutations and combinations in your solution.
