Same but with the original board as part of the visualization, and with different parts of the structure highlighted:

It made a lot more sense after doing that, as I'm nowhere near proficient enough at chess to see the board and all its moves in my mind's eye.

Hah, you beat me to it! I drew this very same board by hand, after noticing that many positions were dead ends, and that the options for moving around the top-left were quite limited.

Based on the graph, I also found an optimal route through the whole board: https://gist.github.com/unflxw/b4d21c55c137a9a42fba75bd0cf98...
