* Damone (King): Damone can move in the same way as Dama. Damone can capture any piece.

* The piece which can capture the most of opponent's pieces shall move.
* If there are more than one paths or pieces still possible, then the one with highest rank shall move.
* If there are more than one pieces with the same rank or more than one path for the chosen piece, then the path capturing the biggest number of the highest ranked pieces shall be taken.
