I. — This diagram, as already intimated, sliows tlie position of the pieces at 
the opening of the game. 
II. — P starts. He takes two pieces out of &-6 and distributes them in 6-7 
and 6-8. The dropping of a single stone in the empty hole b-8 entitles 
him to "kill" the four pieces in c-8 and d-8, and to capture the two 
pieces in tZ-6 (Fig. 5, II 1). All six pieces are removed from the board, 
the position at the end of the move being shown in Fig. 5, II 2. 
III. — Q takes two pieces out of c-3 and drops them in c-2 and c-1. He is 
thereby entitled to "kill" the four pieces in 6-1 and also captures the 
two pieces in a -2. 
IV. — P takes two pieces out of 6-4 and drops them in 6-5 and 6-6. He 
" kills " the two pieces in c-6 and captures the two in c-5. 
V. — Q takes two pieces out of c-2 and drops them into c-] and d-1 ; takes up 
the three pieces in d-1 and distributes them one at a time in d-2, d-S 
and (Z-4 ; takes the three pieces in d-4 and drops them in d-5, d-6 and 
d-7 ; takes three pieces out of d-7 and drops them in d-8, c-8 and c-7 ; 
takes three pieces out of c-7 and drops them in c-6, c-5 and c-4 (Fig. 5, 
VI); takes three pieces out of c-4 and drops them in c-3, c-2 and c-1 
(Fig. 5, V 2) ; takes three pieces out of c-1 and drops them in d-1, d-2 
and d-3 ; takes the four pieces in d-3 and distributes them in (Z-4, d-5, 
d-6 and d-7. As d-7 was an empty hole this brings his move to an end. 
VI. — After a few moves the position of the " men " of the two players is as 
shown in Fig. 5, IX. It is Q's move, who has only a single piece left 
in each of his occupied holes. He may start from c-8, c-6, c-3, d-1,. 
d-3 or d-7, but not from c-4, d-o or d-6, as this would mean his playing- 
from a hole containing only one piece into an occupied hole.
