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. | |

13 | To play a kick, click on the ball and then on the desired square. | |
14 | The knight send the ball at any knight-step away from its initial position, | |
15 | except on squares adjacent to the knight. | |
16 | However, when the ball is in a corner an exception to this rule is allowed: | |
17 | on the following diagram "kick from g1 to h3" is allowed". | |
