A Proof of Willcocks's Conjecture

We give a proof of Willcocks's Conjecture, stating that if $p - q$ and $p + q$ are relatively prime, then there exists a Hamiltonian tour of a $(p, q)$-leaper on a square chessboard of side $2(p + q)$. The conjecture was formulated by T. H. Willcocks in 1976 and has been an open problem since.
