Legal knight-constrained layouts
Choose two, three or four hazards on a four-by-four board. No two hazards may be a chess knight move apart: two rows and one column, or one row and two columns. All96/276/412 legal layouts respectively have equal probability.
Conditional odds and current value
Live value starts at0.97 times the virtual stake. A safe reveal divides it by that cell’s exact conditional safe probability among remaining legal layouts. Coordinates matter even on the first reveal. A hazard ends the round with zero return.
Collecting and automatic settlement
Collect after a safe reveal, or continue at the displayed conditional odds. Proven hazards are unavailable; proven-safe cells add no value. A next value above1000 times stake is unavailable. If no eligible uncertain choice remains, the current value is banked automatically.
Wallet persistence and refill
Settled balance and fractional payout carry persist in localStorage. Reloading ends an unfinished round without refunding its deducted stake. Outside a round, refill restores1000 coins when the balance is below the smallest stake. Settings and refill are locked during a round.
Expected return and its limits
Exact expected return is97% for permitted stopping policies. The initial3% reduction is applied once; safe-branch compensation preserves conditional expectation. This long-run mathematical figure is not a session guarantee or a claim about an external commercial game.
