Game rules

• at the start of the game, the board is filled with all the pieces, each player's pieces being set on their side of the board
  
• first player has to execute a capturing move because the board is full and there are no empty cells
  
• players take turns, each executing only one move per turn
  
• a player wins if the opponent has only one piece left (cannot capture with only one piece) or the opponent is immobilized (cannot move or capture anymore)
