3. A piece moves one space per turn in any direction following the pattern on the board onto an unoccupied position of the board.

4. A piece can capture an opposition piece in any direction by the short leap as in draughts or Alquerque. The player's piece must be adjacent to the opponents piece, and leap over it onto a vacant point on the other side.
