Jeson Mor

Overview
Jeson Mor ("9 horses") is a two-player board game played on a square checkerboard that originates in Mongolia. This game was described in "The Encyclopedia of Chess Variants" (by David Pritchard).

Board

The Jeson Mor game is played on a 9x9 checkerboard.

The initial position of dark and light horses is shown on the following picture:

Objective

The goal of the Jeson Mor is to move one of own horses to the central square and then to move that horse outside the central square.

A player also wins if he captures all opponent's horses.

Play

Players move alternatively, starting from the player with the light horses.

Each horse moves like the Chess knight.

A horse can move to an empty cell or to a cell occupied by an enemy horse. In the latter case the enemy horse is considered to be captured and removed from the board.

Important note: an enemy horse occupying the central cell can be captured the same way as if it was occupying any other cell.
