I think the "G" in pgc stands for Gomory.
I had never heard the name so I looked up the google definition:
and I got worried.
After a quick search I found, however, a match that made much more sense.
Need to get in more thinking done i guess
Yes, that's the right direction.
I didn't know you could find a solution in the web
Yes.

I am very sorry Sandeep. I interpreted re-trace as go back the same way, not going back to any square you've been.
I must have been half asleep already when I answered that because it has no sense going back the same way (really dumb).
So, no, you are not allowed to re-trace or else any path would do.

here's what I have (using sandeep's table format ). I'm assuming that the rook keeps it's jumping abilities since a rook doesn't have to move one square at a time but can actually move several squares at a time. So in the below example, once the rook gets to position 59 it jumps to position 60, then moves back one square then finally down one square:<TABLE style="WIDTH: 164pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=220 border=0 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 34pt;

Hi crimson_b1ade....
I think the 62 needs to be near End.... either at your current 13 or 15 (or 14??)
If your strategy is allowed then...

At 45 the rook jumps to 46 and comes back to 47.....<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input *******="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input *******="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

Hi crimson_b1ade
If the rook moves several squares at a time all the squares between the start and end position will be marked as used.
Remark:
I think the rook has no jumping abilities, it must pass by all the squares in between. That's why you cannot move to from a square to another one in the same row or in the same column if there's another piece in between. Only the knight can jump.
P. S. Let's not discuss whether in castling the rook jumps over or dances with the king.
