<p>There is a <code>50 x 50</code> chessboard with <strong>one</strong> knight and some pawns on it. You are given two integers <code>kx</code> and <code>ky</code> where <code>(kx, ky)</code> denotes the position of the knight, and a 2D array <code>positions</code> where <code>positions[i] = [x<sub>i</sub>, y<sub>i</sub>]</code> denotes the position of the pawns on the chessboard.</p>

<p>Alice and Bob play a <em>turn-based</em> game, where Alice goes first. In each player&#39;s turn:</p>

<ul>
	<li>The player <em>selects </em>a pawn that still exists on the board and captures it with the knight in the <strong>fewest</strong> possible <strong>moves</strong>. <strong>Note</strong> that the player can select <strong>any</strong> pawn, it <strong>might not</strong> be one that can be captured in the <strong>least</strong> number of moves.</li>
	<li><span>In the process of capturing the <em>selected</em> pawn, the knight <strong>may</strong> pass other pawns <strong>without</strong> capturing them</span>. <strong>Only</strong> the <em>selected</em> pawn can be captured in <em>this</em> turn.</li>
</ul>

<p>Alice is trying to <strong>maximize</strong> the <strong>sum</strong> of the number of moves made by <em>both</em> players until there are no more pawns on the board, whereas Bob tries to <strong>minimize</strong> them.</p>

<p>Return the <strong>maximum</strong> <em>total</em> number of moves made during the game that Alice can achieve, assuming both players play <strong>optimally</strong>.</p>

<p>Note that in one <strong>move, </strong>a chess knight has eight possible positions it can move to, as illustrated below. Each move is two cells in a cardinal direction, then one cell in an orthogonal direction.</p>
