# Chebyshev Distance - $D(x,y) = max_{i}(|x_{i}-y_{i}|)$ - greatest of difference between two vectors along any coordinate dimension - simply the maximum distance along one axis. - Chessboard distance since the minimum number of moves needed by a king to go from one square to another is equal to Chebyshev distance - can be used to extract the minimum number of moves needed to go from one square to another - warehouse logistics as it closely resembles the time an overhead crane takes to move an object
