A274630 Square array T(n,k) (n>=1, k>=1) read by antidiagonals upwards in which the number entered in a square is the smallest positive number that is different from the numbers already filled in that are queens' or knights' moves away from that square. 7

%N Square array T(n,k) (n>=1, k>=1) read by antidiagonals upwards in which the number entered in a square is the smallest positive number that is different from the numbers already filled in that are queens' or knights' moves away from that square.

%C If we only worry about queens' moves then we get the array in A269526.

%C Presumably, as in A269526, every column, every row, and every diagonal is a permutation of the natural numbers.

%C The knights only affect the squares in their immediate neighborhood, so this array will have very similar properties to A269526. The most noticeable difference is that the first column is no longer A000027, it is now A274631.

%C A piece that can move like a queen or a knight is known as a Maharaja. If we subtract 1 from the entries here we obtain A308201. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jun 30 2019

%e Look at the entry in the second cell in row 3. It can't be a 1, because the 1 in cell(1,2) is a knight's move away, it can't be a 2, 3, 4, or 5, because it is adjacent to cells containing these numbers, and there is a 6 in cell (1,3) that is a knight's move away. The smallest free number is therefore 7.
