   5   Each player begins with eight grasshoppers between the first rank and the
   6   pawns on the third rank. The grasshopper moves potentially in all
   7   directions, but needs the help of a piece for its movement :
   8   it jumps over the first encountered piece (of any color),
   9   and land on the very next square.
  10   This square must be either empty or occupied by an enemy piece (which is eaten).
