CRUNCHING QUAX
23* moves
A line of stones may move in its own direction any number of spaces
up to its own length. Any friendly stones encountered during
the move halt the movement. Any same-direction line of opponent
stones encountered have the nearest stones killed by replacement,
the maximum number to be killed being the difference of the two
lengths, with the move stopping only after a maximum such kill
or before the first blank after any kill.
: A turn consists of
: EITHER the placement of three NON-LINEAR stones on empty cells,
: OR of one move of the above type, followed by a placement.
Whoever first makes a path joining three non-adjacent sides, wins.
