After a couple tries got it done in 16 minutes or so. Probably laughably bad for anyone good at chess but it was a fun and enlightening challenge. About midway through I had a sudden click and figured out the pattern to hit the right squares. I don’t know how to put it into words but I believe there’s a three move combo that helps you move off of one set of squares and onto the other set. And my intuition got a lot better towards the end, even getting the last squares almost by accident. Funny how that happens

That sort of clicked for me too, then I decided to take a break from fumbling through it and draw out the graph.
I ended up visualizing as two sets of loops connected to each other in the bottom-right, top-right and bottom-left quadrants, with some dead ends branching out:
Was much, much easier to complete once I could see a map of the board.
