The following is a really simple tutorial that should help you understand how to handle the movement of a Jester in Mazechess 1.1.

Step 1: Understand the Jester’s Movement

• The Jester moves like a Queen but is limited to two spaces in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).

Step 2: Set Up the Chessboard

• Start with an empty standard chessboard. The vertical axis is labeled A to H (West to East), and the horizontal axis is labeled 1 to 8 (South to North).

Step 3: Place the Jester

• Position the Jester at the starting square A1.

Step 4: Add Random Blocking Squares

• Randomly place 10 blocking squares on the board ( B2, C5, E3, F6, G2, H4, D7, B6, E1, and G7). 
• The table will look like:

Step 5: Plan Your Route

• Examine the board and plan a route from A1 to H8, considering how to navigate around the blocking squares using the Jester’s movement capabilities.

Step 6: Start Moving the Jester (Example Moves)

• First Move: From A1 to C1
• Second Move: From C1, move to E3
• Third Move: From E3, navigate to G5
• Fourth Move:From G5 to H6
• Fifth Move:From H6 to H8
