12
13 ul
14 li Players alternate turns, starting with White.
15 li There are two kinds of moves: non-capturing ("paika") and capturing.
16 li.
17 If at the beginning of a turn a capturing move is possible,
18 then it has to be played.
19 li
20 | Capturing implies removing one or more pieces of the opponent, in one of
21 | two ways:
22 ul
23 li.
24 Approach — moving the capturing stone to a point adjacent to an
25 opponent's stone, located right after in the movement's direction.
26 li.
27 Withdrawal — the capturing stone moves away from an opponent's
28 stone, initially adjacent.
29 li.
30 When an opponent stone is captured, all opponent pieces in line beyond
31 that stone (and connected to it) are captured as well.
32 Another capture can then be achieved with the same stone.

43 ul
44 li.
45 An approach capture and a withdrawal capture cannot be made at the same
46 time. The two locations will appear on the interface and you'll have
47 to make a choice.
48 li
49 | The capturing piece is allowed to continue making successive captures,
50 | with these restrictions:
51 ul
52 li The piece is not allowed to arrive at the same position twice.
53 li.
54 It is not permitted to capture twice consecutively in the same
55 direction (first by withdrawal, and then by approach).
56 | However, continuing the capturing sequence is optional.
