During the feast of the knights from the French college “St Augustin” in Plovdiv in 1939 the squares of an endless chess-board are numbered in a spiral sequence. One Knight starts from square 1 and is making moves by the regular chess rules that allow the knight to move 3 squares vertically and one square horizontally. When there is more than one free square the knight chooses to take the one with the lowest number where he has not yet stepped on. At move number 2016 and on square number 2084 the knight could not continue his movement and is trapped by his own perseverance. The only thing left to do is to rise a hand.
