The rules of fanorona:
White controls the white pieces, Blue controls the blue pieces.
There are two kinds of moves: movements and captures.
A movement consists of moving one stone along a line to an intersection adjacent to it.
Capturing moves are mandatory and have to be played instead of regular movements when possible.
Capturing implies removing one or more pieces of the opponent, in one of two ways:
Approach — moving the capturing stone to a point adjacent to an opponent's stone, which must be on the continuation of the capturing stone's movement line.
Withdrawal — the capturing stone moves from a point adjacent to the opponent's stone, away from the stone along the continuation of the line between them.
When an opponent stone is captured, all opponent pieces in line beyond that stone (up to an enemy stone or empty space) are captured as well.
An approach/withdrawal capture cannot be made at the same time – the player must choose one of them each turn.

The game ends when one player captures all stones of the opponent.
Draw occurs in a similar fashion to chess, after a three-fold repetition of the same movements.
