Whirlpool (easy)
This maze first appeared as the monthly maze competition for December 2014.
In this maze the chess piece on each square tells you how you can move from that square. From a bishop you can move diagonally to the next piece, from a rook you can move horizontally or vertically to the next piece, and from a knight you can jump in an L-shaped knight's move.
In addition, you must alternate colours; so, from a black piece you can only move to a white piece, and from a white piece you must move to a black piece.
Start from the white rook in the top left corner, and find the shortest route to the black rook in the lower right corner.
