       Diagonally magic tours on square boards

       Hi,
       I am a professor of computer science and also a chess player, so
       knight's tours are of considerable interest to me. The website
       at
  HTML https://www.mayhematics.com/t/t.htm
       states that "Diagonally
       magic tours on all square boards of side 4k with k > 2 are
       possible". I am looking for a source that describes how to
       construct such tours. I browsed through some of Awani Kumar's
       papers and other resources without success. Any help would be
       much appreciated!
       Thanks,

       sorry, I only find this now, 1 year later.
       I have not been much interested in diagonally magic tours,
       it's not so "mathematic" .
       Pan-diagonal tours are more mathematically relevant.
       And since the knight alternates black and white
       it's more natural to have n*n*n/2 in the diagonal
       with odd numbers
       and n*n*n/2-n in the diagonal with even numbers
       on a n*n-board,
       starting with 0
