Rules With Diagrams
Pincer {R11}
The two red pieces can both reach the tile the blue piece is on. On red’s turn either of the two can move onto the tile and remove the blue piece.
When a piece has a power of movement such that it could reach a tile occupied by an opposition piece, and there are no intervening pieces, then it is said to be attacking that piece.
You can make a pincer when two or more of your pieces are already attacking an opponent’s piece at the start of your turn. In the pincer you remove the opposing piece from the board, change the tile it was on to your colour, and move one of the attacking pieces onto the tile. The pincer can be done even when the opponent’s piece is occupying a tile of their colour.
