Remaining pieces do not ensure a moveSourced
The player unable to capture loses
Hawaiian kōnane begins with alternating pieces filling the board and opening removals creating space. Subsequent moves capture by jumping over opposing pieces. The first player unable to capture loses, so simply retaining many pieces does not decide the result.
What remains matters through what it allows next.
