The Swapper game was created by the Tibetan monks and was a part of a complex ritual ceremony. In Europe the game appeared in the XVIII century at the French court and became popular among the grandees soon. A legend says that one Tibetan monk, whose name has not reached up to nowadays, has declared, that he can play any time long as he has reached a high spiritual level. In fact, he managed to continue the game during several days, until he was caught at fraud and exiled from a monastery.
Rules of the game are very simple: the game is played on a squared board (8x8) with the chesspieces of 9 various coloures or forms. In the beginning all fields of the board are filled with the chesspieces at random. In one course you can swap two adjacent chesspieces on a vertical or across. If three or more chesspieces of one color are drawn up in a number across or verticals you take away them to yourselves from a field, and on their place install the new chesspieces selected at random. Any of your courses should result in construction of three or more chesspieces in a number. If you do not see variants of a successful course the game comes to an end. The winner is the one who has more chesspieces.
