+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>&kenolaba; is a simple board strategy game that is played by two
+players. There are red and yellow pieces for each player. Beginning from
+a position where each player has 14 pieces, moves are drawn until
+one player has pushed 6 of his opponent's pieces out of the
+board.</para>
+
+<para>The original program was developed in 1993 for DOS and pure
+Xlib. For &kde; there was a major rewrite.</para>
+
+<note><para> If you know the board game called Abalone, you will like this
+program. In fact, this program was inspired by the mentioned game.
+Abalone is a trademark of Abalone SA, France.</para></note>

+that direction and all the pieces of the move will be highlighted. If
+this is the move you want to draw, release the mouse button.</para>
+
+<para>Side moves are handled another way: For two adjacent pieces click between
+them and drag; for three pieces press the &MMB; on the middle piece - if a side

+&kenolaba; supports playing across a network. This allows two people to
+play against each other on different computers, or one person to observe

+needed (apart from switching to Network Mode). If running on different

+a <acronym>TCP</acronym> socket for position change commands by other
