In case anyone else goes nuts trying to write a program for a knight's tour with the additional queen constraint from this game: you can't get to B7. Obvious if you actually look at the board.

How is B7 more noteworthy than anywhere else that is under attack from the queen?
It’s double unreachable: you cannot go to any of its neighbours either. Really hidden square for the knight.

while trying to solve this by hand this square also came to my attention and I didn’t notice that it is forbidden by the queen directly :)

Cause I made a mistake and coded the queen as a rook. Jeez I should just go to bed.
