Video Summary

The new chess piece, the Kangaroo, requires a sequence of specific moves on the board. To reach a given destination marked as A, the Kangaroo must use moves that either jump 3 squares vertically and 1 square horizontally or vice versa. In the described scenario, the piece overshoots its destination and needs to backtrack in an organized manner. By tracing back the route from the destination, it was found that the Kangaroo can reach its target in a minimum of three moves. This involves strategically connecting the initial position to the endpoint by simplifying the path backward.
