FIGURE 170. The Wolf and the Goats.
3. THE WOLF AND THE GOATS. This game is played on
an ordinary chessboard. The 12 goats are white pawns
placed on the black cells of White's first three rows, and they
move like men in checkers, but without being able to take
an opposing piece. The wolf is a black king placed on the
black queen's knight's square. The wolf moves like a king
in checkers, and may take the goats. The wolf tries to reach
the opposite side of the board, and the goats try to prevent
him by hemming him in on all sides. By keeping together
the goats can always win.
