Answer: 15

 

I tried drawing out the places where the knight can land:

But I got 10, not 15.

...what is the most number of squares in a 4x4 checkerboard that a knight can visit without visiting any square more than once? 

 

I believe I need clarification of the term "visit" as used.  Is a visit limited to the final landing square of the knight's move, or does it include the squares that the knight passes through to get to the landing square? 

.

I can't see the drawing because it says "You need permission". Could you please publish it to the web or make it so that anyone with the link can see it? Thanks in advance.
