Subject: Amazons -- the rules

Several people have asked me to post the rules for Amazons.  Well, 
they've been published in World Game Review and Games, but here they are:

AMAZONS  by Argentinian Walter Zamkauskas

EQUIPMENT: 4 red tokens, 4 blue tokens, 92 black Go stones, and a 10x10 board

RULES
1.  Red has amazons on A4/D1/G1/J4, Blue has amazons on A7/D10/G10/J7.

2.  Red starts, and turns alternate.  On each turn, a player's amazon 
moves like a chess queen, then 'fires an arrow' a queen's move from its 
stopping square; both parts of the move are MANDATORY.  Use the go stones 
to mark the arrows.

3.  Amazon and arrow cannot move over or onto an occupied square.  The 
arrow's landing place becomes a permanent block to all arrows and amazons.

4.  Last player able to finish a turn wins.
