Huge thanks to dreat for introducing me to L game

The orignal L game is a simple abstract strategy board game invented by Edward de Bono.
It was introduced in his book The Five-Day Course in Thinking (1967).

L GAME RULES

Place the pieces in the starting position.

On each turn, a player must first move their L piece.

Then, they may optionally move either one of the neutral pieces.
To move a neutral piece, a player simply picks it up then places it in an empty square anywhere on the board.

The L piece can picked up and then placed in empty squares anywhere on the board.
It may be rotated or flipped over.

The L piece must end in a different position from the position it started, thus covering at least one square it did not previously cover.
Pieces may not overlap or cover other pieces, or let the pieces off the board.

The game is won by leaving the opponent unable to move their L piece to a new position.
