5.1 Connections
Two pieces are said to be connected if the following
conditions all apply to the positions of those pieces on the board:
- The pieces occupy ``corresponding spaces'' on opposite sides of the
center of the board.
- The pieces are the of the same type - only
Fools can be connected with Fools, only
Bards with Bards, etc.
- The pieces belong to the same player.
5.1.1 Correspondence
The board contains exactly fifty pairs of corresponding spaces.
Two spaces are said to ``correspond'' if and only if:
- At least one side of each piece's occupied space is
collinear with exactly one line which passes through the
center of the board.
- The occupied spaces are on the same Tier of the board.
Phrased differently, two spaces correspond if they
are mirror-images separated by 180 degrees. See
Figure for an example.
