Haart has two snakes, not just one, and there's a good reason for it. For simplicity, let's introduce a coordinate system with the origin in the top-left corner of the battlefield. The first number in a pair will represent the ordinate (from 1 to 11), and the second will represent the abscissa (from 1 to 15). The snakes move in the following sequence: (11-4, 11-6); (def, 3-5); (11-15, 1-15); (11-4, 3-5); (7-15, 1-14); (11-6, 3-5); (11-15, 1-13); (11-6, 3-5); (9-15, 1-13). The last two moves of the snakes form a cycle. Malcolm managed to achieve a cycle with just one snake.
