A king wishes to go for a walk of a square chessboard with the following conditions: • Each two consequent cells of the path must be adjacent, i.e., share an edge or a corner (thus, a cell may have up to eight adjacent cells). • Each cell must be visited exactly once; the first and the last cells of the path must coincide (thus, the first cell of the path will be actually visited twice). • The path must have no self intersections (we may think of a path as a closed polyline with vertices at cells’ centers). Your task is to find the maximal possible length of a king’s path (here we mean the length of the polyline, not the number of king’s moves).
