* GROUP - A set of connected (orthogonally or diagonally) stones.
* TURN - On each turn, each player moves or jumps one stone.
+ MOVE - A stone may move to any adjacent (orthogonal
and diagonal) empty cell.
+ JUMP - A stone may also jump over any stone (friend or foe)
landing on the opposite empty cell (it must be empty).
A player may make on the same turn, multiple jumps with
the same stone, and may change direction after each jump.
+ It is not valid to move or jump to its own first cell.
* CONNECTION - After each move or jump, any stones not connected
(orthogonally or diagonally) to another stone of the
group is captured.
* CAPTURE - If, after a move or jump, the group is divided, the
larger of the remaining groups containing pieces of both
colors survives.
The smaller group, or the group containing pieces of a
single color are removed from the board.
There is only one connected group on the board, after
each move.
Some other restrictions: It's not valid
to produce two groups with the same number of stones,
if both groups have stones of both colors.
It's not valid to separate the two colors completely.
* GOAL - Wins the player who advances one stone into the opponent's
first cell (the cell marked in the first diagram with a
color dot).
