I have been trying to solve this for 2 days straight and I just can't find a valid algorithm. Given a Chess board, and a number of pieces, I have to check if said board can be toured by the pieces, with the condition that each piece can only visit an square once. I know it's some kind of multiple backtracking, but I can't get it to work. (I only have been able to implement a general knight's tour for individual pieces)
tablero
is a class of the board, that holds a name, a list of pieces, a list with prohibited positions, a list with the free positions, and a tuple with the dimensions of the board.
ficha
is the class of a piece, it holds a name (nombre
), a tuple with its position (posicion
), a list with its valid movements (movimientos
) (For example, a pawn's list would be [ [0,1] ], meaning it can only move forward 1)
Any insight is welcome.
Here are the classes (Feel free to add/remove any method).

if pos[0] >= 0 and pos[0] < dimensiones[0] and pos[1] >= 0 and pos[1] < dimensiones[0]:
