L game

The game is won by leaving the opponent unable to move their L piece to a new position.

To move a neutral piece, a player simply picks it up then places it in an empty square anywhere on the board.

These positions can often be achieved once a neutral piece is left in one of the eight killer spaces on the perimeter of the board.

A player will be able to at least force a draw (by playing forever without losing) from the remaining 2267 positions.

A player who can look three moves ahead can defeat defensive play using the standard rules.
