 The pieces move as shown in the diagram, here shown for "White" starting in its home row A-I.The other player ("Black" starting in home row "a-i") moves in the same way, meaning that black and white pieces move in the same direction through each of the rows.When a white piece gets to square "s", White can choose to send the piece to "a" or back to K. However, a given piece can only go into its opponent's home row (for White, "a-i") once; the next time it must go back to K, thereafter merely circulating through the 2 middle rows.
