(Cheshire Cat Lines of Action)
di John McCallion
Gemma was described by John McCallion in NOST #358, and
inspired by "Cheshire Cat" chess.
It's LOA variants played in AISE from GRAND PRIX 1998.
RULES
The standard starting position and the usual rules apply, with the following additions:
When a unit moves, the vacated space disappears forever . The hole it leaves can be crossed, but not landed on, by any subsequent move
When a unit at any time is incapable of moving traditionally, it may be simply removed from the board, and its space vanishes. This move constitutes a turn.
