message: Does anyone know the precise rules of this game?
The jumping rules on the wiki page seems concise enough, but on this implementation:
http://martijn.van.steenbergen.nl/projects/quoridor/
the jumping rules seems to be like this:
if the square opposing you is not blocked (by wall or board edge) you are allowed to jump to the places marked O:
Key:
Y = your piece
H = her piece
O = valid move
X = invalid move
B = blocked square
X	O	X
Y	H	O
X	O	X
If, however, the opposite square is blocked (by the letter B), the following jumps are valid:
O	O	X
Y	H	B
O	O	X
The jumping rules in the Wiki seem to imply that only moving to the opposite square is legal if this square is vacant:
X	X	X
Y	H	O
X	X	X
Does my diagrams make sense, and should the jumping rules here be clarified?

thread_title:  Jumping Rules 

message: There is no reference given for the notation. Besides the fact that the notation is not a part of the rules given by the game, it is not a very nice notation. The notation that should be used is the one in Glendenning's thesis (the one in the link at the bottom).
Update: I changed the notation, seeing as there were no outcries of protest.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.106.71.29 (talk) 15:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notation 

message: There is a new Quoridor site. First they have proposed an official notation.
http://quoridorstrats.wordpress.com/notation/ 
This would call for some updating of the notation throughout the page, especially the openings under the Strategy section.
Second, some of the comments in the strategy section are either incomplete or incorrect.
I'm planning on redoing both of these sections. I wanted to see if anyone is out there watching this page or interested in this particular topic. I will probably post revisions within the week. Wickedbadweather (talk) 12:29, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
