   6   At each turn, a player can first make a normal (non capturing) move.
   7   If none of his pieces are adjacent to the ball, such move is mandatory.
   8   But, if any of his pieces stand next to the ball he may then or right
   9   away kick it, if the step defined by the arrow piece --> ball is
  10   compatible with the piece's movement.
