Barrier

Rules

Google
This game is played on an empty NxN square board.

Setup

Each player drops his stone on an empty cell.

Turns

At each turn, each player must move his stone.
The stone moves similar to a chess Knight, but in two steps rather than one. First it moves one (two) cell(s) in one direction, then two (one) cell(s) orthogonally (hence each player has two moves per turn).
