2 | | Capture stones by approach or withdrawal. |

4 | p The following is summarized from Wikipedia. | |
5 | ||
6 | p. | |
7 | The Fanorona board consists of 5 rows and 9 columns. | |
8 | A stone can only move to an adjacent intersection, following the lines. | |
9 | This movement can lead to captures. | |

11 | h3 General rules | |
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. | |

41 | h3 Some restrictions | |
42 | ||
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. | |
57 | ||
58 | p. | |
59 | The game ends when one player captures all stones of the opponent. | |
60 | If neither player can achieve this, then the game is a draw. |
