I am having trouble thinking how to express it any more simply. The
questions to ask about each neutral at the end of a move are:
(1) If this piece were White and it were White's move, could it capture
any Black pieces?
(2) If this piece were Black and it were Black's move, could it capture
any White pieces?
Any neutral for which the answer to either question is yes ceases to be
neutral and becomes part of the army of whoever has just moved. The
questions are asked again of remaining neutrals, with the same consequence
for an answer of yes, and so on until the answer is no for all remaining
neutrals. Then the other player moves.
	If this doesn't help Jared McComb, I will need to know exactly what he
doesn't understand about this variant.
