X-STEEPLECHASE* is an interesting and unusual chess puzzle that is rather challenging despite looking simple art first sight. The chess problem is based on the old problem of finding a series of winning routes for the knights placed on the stylized X-shaped chessboard.

The essence of the chess problem is to find a path in which 8 white knights would with the spots with 8 black knights. Despite its slim-looking board, the problem is rather lengthy in its solution, spanning 22 moves in total. If you feel stuck along the route just hit the Restart button.
