First try 70, second try 66, third 67, then I decided not to play anymore since i know I would start planning out moves to get the least possible. I become easily addicted

Took me 63, which is the minimum (there are 64 squares, so hitting every one takes 63 moves if you do it perfectly).

I got it in 67 on the first try, think I'll stop before I ruin what seems to be a good score.
