小明很喜欢下国际象棋，一天，他拿着国际象棋中的“马”时突然想到一个问题：
给定两个棋盘上的方格a和b，马从a跳到b最少需要多少步？
现请你编程解决这个问题。
提示：国际象棋棋盘为8格*8格，马的走子规则为，每步棋先横走或直走一格，然后再往外斜走一格。
e2 e4 a1 b2 b2 c3 a1 h8 a1 h7 h8 a1 b1 c3 f6 f6
To get from e2 to e4 takes 2 knight moves. To get from a1 to b2 takes 4 knight moves. To get from b2 to c3 takes 2 knight moves. To get from a1 to h8 takes 6 knight moves. To get from a1 to h7 takes 5 knight moves. To get from h8 to a1 takes 6 knight moves. To get from b1 to c3 takes 1 knight moves. To get from f6 to f6 takes 0 knight moves.
