my question is why is there an exclamation mark? it must have a point otherwise the space would just be left blank.
(get the pun? the exclamation mark has a point! lololol)

Wow this one went up much quicker than I thought. Shame I can't be in on this one. But I don't have the time to dog the boards 24/7 the way fmtiger does.

You can check the king from that space correct? That probably means it's the last space you should land on before reaching the king.

EDIT: if all you do indeed need to travel to each space, it might be easier to go backwards

The only legal way to get to that space is if you capture R, go on an empty space, capture H, then capture ! Assuming the king doesn't move.

Yes, but thats the shortest way... so I think that you need to travel the whole board
otherwise, whats the point of the rest of the letters?

T N O L Y !....point being there are a lot of ways to get there, robodude is probably right you need to land on every space...issue is there are tons of ways to do that...

I dunno, but some of the letters you're landing on with TNOLY! are black, I'm not really sure if you'd want to kill your own pieces....
