│ Choose whether you want to play  "Black"  or White. (Black is actually shown │
│ as Blue in EGA mode).  Choose  manual  to  play against another human rather │
│ than the computer, and choose  Automatic  if  you  want the computer to play │
│ itself. Choose a style of opponent from Anna,  Boris, Karla,  or Dmitri.  If │
│ you chose Automatic then you will need to choose two opponents!              │
│                                                                              │
│ When its your turn enter your  move  either  by specifying coordinates or by │
│ positioning the red cross and hitting enter. You must play in a square which │
│ traps one or more of  your  opponents  tiles  between  the one you have just │
│ placed and one of  your  own  already  on  the  board,  along  a straight or │
│ diagonal line. All the intervening tiles are  flipped to your colour. If you │
│ cannot make a valid move press P to pass.                                    │
│                                                                              │
│ If you make an invalid  move,  or  pass  when  you could play somewhere, the │
│ computer will beep and require you to re-enter a move. The game is over when │
│ all squares have been occupied or when  both players are forced to pass. The │
│ winner is the one with most tiles on the board.                              │
