Problem Statement

Several knights are arranged on an infinite chessboard. No square is attacked by more than one knight (in particular, a square occupied by a knight can be attacked by one knight but not by two). Sasha outlined a 14×16 14\times 16 rectangle. What maximum number of knights can this rectangle contain?
