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). | |
