Rules

• Any piece can move any amount of spaces in straight lines, not diagonally
• No piece can pass over another piece
• A piece is captured and removed if it's surrounded by enemies on two opposite sides (horizontally or vertically - not diagonally)
• The edges are considered as an enemy
• The king can only be captured by beeing completly surrounded by enemies. If so, black wins
• Only the king can step on the middle, yet the others can pass it
• Only the king can step on the edges and by doing so white wins
