You Win!

SEVEN* - the elegant shape of the board for this challenge. EIGHT - the number of chess figures on it. Combined they create rather a difficult and tightly-packed chess knight puzzle. Now the task is to discover the series of successful multi-jump moves for these two squads of chess knights to be exchanged.

In ancient chess this figure represented the "cavalry" - a rider on a horse. In France, a chess knight is a cavalier (cavalier), in England it is a knight (knight), in Germany (springer), Poland (skoczek), Croatia (skakač), its name is translated as "jumper", "horse."

The knight is the only piece that jumps over other pieces - whether its own or the opponent's one. This chess puzzle is designed to teach you maneuvering in a tightly-packed environment. Try to fit within 12 moves to solve this chess problem.
