Answer #1

Since a knight(horse piece in some local language) moves 2 steps forward or backward and 1 steps in either sides.

It is given that the knight starts from either of the one corner among the 4 corners of a 8×8 chessboard.

Since it's start from a corner it can't go backward and cannot go on both side,so it's must go 2 steps forward and one steps sideward on one among the possible side.Now the knight piece can go 2 steps back also,hence,it can backtrack it's steps and move 2 steps backward and 1step sideward to the corner position.

Hence it can return to its first initial position within least of 2 steps.
