The object of this game is to move one of your pieces (pawns) to the other side of the board. In the normal game, pawns move as standard chess pawns; moving forward one square to an empty position, or capturing diagonally forward. Berolina and Berolina Plus pawns can be used in variations of this game. Berolina pawns move diagonally forward and capture directly forward. Berolina Plus pawns are the same as Berolina pawns, except they can also capture sideways. For all variations, a player wins when one of her pawns reaches the final row, or when her opponent is unable to move.


Player 2 (blue) must move one of her three unblocked pawns, but whichever one she moves will be captured by player 1, who will go on to win.


Player 1 (red) can make a forward capture with her highlighted Berolina pawn, which will then be able to reach the final row without being blocked or captured.
