Talk:Ludus latrunculorum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm hoping somebody can clarify a game scenario for me, possibly amending the proposed rules to deal with it. If X's represent black, and O's represent white, and .'s represent spaces, if you have

..X.XO..

and white moves so that you have

..XOXO..

what happens? Both the inner O and X are surrounded. Is it an illegal move? Which piece(s) is/are captured?

O moved in voluntarily and thus isn't captured, I believe. Therefore X and X alone loses a piece.
