Moves are mandatory, and if the game ends by stalemate then
the winner is determined by whether the boundary has been reached.
Any boundary hit is a win for an ESCAPER, otherwise BLOCKER wins.
Unlur or "chicken" starting:- both sides play moves as ESCAPERS.
If at any time a player feels a blocker is now certain to win,
he announces "I Block!", but does not make a move. The other player
remains the sole escaper and plays the first move in regular alternation.
Note: If, still on the first phase, a player makes a stalemate position
he loses, (opponent chooses "block" and stalemater cannot continue).
