Rows are identified by the numbers and columns by the letters. Lower case
letters, x and o, are unkinged pieces. Upper case letters, X and O, are
kinged pieces. To king a piece move it into row 1. To remember which
pieces you have, x or o, look to the bottom of the board, your name is
listed next to the piece you are moving.
At the upper right is the number of your pieces your opponent has
captured and the number you have captured is at the lower right.

Concede - To concede, or basically give up, just type a 'c' or 'C' at the
'Enter you move:' prompt. The game will end and your opponent will win.
Draw - Enter a 'd' or 'D' at the 'Enter your move' prompt ONLY if you have
no move available. If the game ends with your opponent having no move then
the game ends in a draw and no one gets scored. If ,however, your opponent
does have a move and makes it, you lose and you both get scored.
