8.3.2 Beginning the game
Black places a piece on one of the four central squares: d4, e4, d5 or e5. White responds by placing a piece
on another of these squares. Black then occupies a third central square, and White occupies the remaining
one. At this point there are two possible patterns:
–
8.3.3 Continuing the game
Play now continues according to the following rule:
When it is his turn, a player places a piece on the board in such a way that one or more pieces of the
opposite colour are enclosed, in an unbroken straight line, between this new piece and another of the
player’s own colour.
The line of pieces may be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
So in the left-
hand position (above), Black can insert a piece at f4, “sandwiching” the white piece on e4
between the black ones on f4 and d4. Black could also play at f3, f5 or f6. In the right-hand position, he can
play at c5, d6, e3 or f4. The piece of the opposing colour, “sandwiched” between the player’s new and old
pieces, is flipped over to show the same colour as the two pieces enclosing it.
