 <u>Jim Dunnigan</u> and asked if my ''<u>S & T</u>'' column could wait until  <br>
 the beginning of next week. No problem.

+Pcs., other than the "wild" ones, can only land on a space of   <br>
+one of their colors. Pcs. with a cross can move in 8 directions  <br>
+(3 & 4 in illustration) or orthoginally (1 in illustration) .   <br>
+(I found this very difficult to follow and suggested having lines  <br>
+on each pc. indicating the direction in which it can move, solid if  <br>
+it can land on all spaces and dotted if on every other.)  <br>
+Capture is by replacement. The solid line at each end separates  <br>
+the "camp" - where the pcs. are set up as each  <br>
+player wishes at the start (tho he may come up with a definite  <br>
+setup) - from the "field". Captures across this line  <br>
+can only be made if the capturing player has at least two  <br>
+pcs. bearing on the captured piece - tho only one is moved. The  <br>
+moving platform, however, is open to a single capture from  <br>
+either side of the line, that is a pc. on it is.  <br>
+A pc. entering the moving platform must stop on the outside  <br>
+at the end of the move, and then move into the goal on  <br>
+another move. Except that the goal can be reached directly  <br>
+thru the diagonal opening.  <br>
+Instead of moving a pc., the platform can be moved laterally  <br>
+one space, provided the spaces it moves into are empty. (Earl  <br>
+originally stipulated that the platform had to be empty in order  <br>
+to move. I suggested allowing movement with pcs. on it.  <br>
+Win by moving two pcs. onto the goal spaces. Once a pc. is  <br>
+on, it cannot be captured, but it may move to the other  <br>
+space or may move out all together.  <br>
+As in <u>CHESS</u> pcs. may not pass over any other pc.  <br>
