U-STEEPLECHASE* is a chess puzzle with an unusual board in the form of the letter U. While all six knights are gathered in the lower part of the letter, the two vertical parts above them will be the most instrumental to successfully complete the posed task.

Due to the nature of this problem's board, the main hint would be for you as a solver to aim for the multi-jump knight moves instead of the single-jump ones. See what number of consecutive jumps would you longest move consist of.
