| The objective is to capture all your opponent's pieces (alternatively, to capture all your opponent's Damones). There are three types of pieces: Pedine, Dama, and Damone (also called Imperatore). The Pedine moves in three directions on the black squares, along the h1-a8 diagonal, towards the enemy Damone. It can move to the sides and "forwards" (towards a8 and h1, respectively). It captures in the same directions. Capturing is mandatory and you must keep jumping and capturing as long as it is possible. Pedines may not capture Damas and Damones. Damas may not capture Damones. Pedines promote to Damas if they arrive to the squares that were originally occupied by the opponent's Damas. Damas promote to Damones on squares a8 and h1, respectively. Both Damas and Damones may move and capture forwards or backwards on the diagonals. Stalemate is a loss. The initial position holds one Damone each, two Damas, and five Pedines. There is also a variant with three Damas and three Pedines. Preference must always be given to the longest capturing line. Otherwise, the Damone's capturing move is privileged over both the Dama's capturing move, and the Pedine's capturing move. The Dama's capturing move is privileged over the Pedine's capturing move. If still equal, then one must give preference to the greatest piece value in the capturing line.
Note that there are also variants where it is sufficient to capture the opponent's Damones to achieve a win. These variants are more dynamic. |
