This game definitely challenges the player's ability to extrapolate
positions.  Keeping track of the oscillation of every moved piece and
maintaining some form of strategy, the player is fortunate to be able to
plan more than several moves.

This is also the joy of the game.  A player who desires an easily
comprehensive form might well be warned about the dangers surrounding this
game.  But they should not fear to attempt it.

My favorite variant is the Mirrored Alice set-up, whereby opposing pieces
begin on seperate fields.  This offers a large variety of opening moves.
