PROGRESSIVE FENCES
Cul-de-sac with L-shaped walls allowed.
Walls may be placed along edges, but not beyond them.
Win by crossing over the target edge.
The turns are progressively 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 6 6... moves, with a move being
one orthogonal step by the player's stone, or one length of 2-wall placement.
A player may distribute his available moves as he pleases (so placing a wall
costs two moves), subject to not being permitted to completely wall off
his opponent from his target.Sample game (notation: Xy* means that a wall was placed at coordinate Xy with a certain shape given by symbol *. If * is 1,2,3 or 4 it means a L-shaped wall on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th quadrants; if * is - means a horizontal wall with center Xy; and if * is | means a vertical wall with center Xy):
