Knight Morphs

Each number moves like a chess knight, i.e. to the opposite corner of an mxn rectangle where mn is no greater than the value of the piece. For example, the number 6 moves like a standard chess knight (m = 2 or 3, n = 3 or 2) or like a pawn (m = 1, n = 2 or 3), or in several other possible ways. An exact move is one for which mn equals the value of the piece; capturing is only allowed on exact moves. If a move is inexact, then the piece is reduced in value to mn, and the difference between that and the original value is left behind on the original square. If the target square is occupied by another piece of the same player, the values are added.

The goal is to simultaneously occupy the opponent's home squares (where her first pieces are originally placed).

Note that you may need to install extra fonts for this to display properly. On linux I've found that symbola, dejavu, and droid do the trick.
