The game is played on a 8x8 board. In the initial position, all squares are occupied by a stone, with white stones on the white squares and black stones on the black squares.
How to play:
- A player moves by picking up one of their stones and "clobbering" an opponent's stone on an adjacent square (horizontally or vertically). The "clobbered" stone is removed from the board and replaced by the stone that was moved.
The game ends when one player, on their turn, is unable to move, and then that player loses.
Ending a turn:
- A bot must output the coordinates of the piece he wants to move followed by its destination coordinates. Coordinates are expressed in chess notation e.g. "e2e3"
Wrong output:
- If the starting or destination coordinates are outside of the board,
- If the starting square is occupied by an opponent stone,
- If the destination square is empty or occupied by an own piece,
the game will end and the other player will win.
