HOW TO PLAYRules in 30 seconds+
1 · Sow. Pick one of your pits and drop its seeds one by one counter-clockwise, including your store and skipping the opponent’s.
2 · Go again. Land the final seed in your own store to take another turn immediately.
3 · Capture. End in an empty pit on your side opposite enemy seeds to capture both into your store.
4 · Finish. When one side empties, the other side sweeps its remaining seeds. The larger store wins.
OPTIONALStrategy coach & exact review+
STRATEGY COACHTempo before raw stones
Landing your last stone in your store earns another turn. A move that creates a useful extra turn can be stronger than an immediate capture.

KALAH CHECKLIST
1) Look for a store landing and extra turn. 2) Check captures from an empty pit on your side. 3) Avoid leaving a large opposite capture. 4) In sparse endings, count the final sweep exactly.
LOCAL EXPLAINABLE COACH
Review the move, not just the final store
Local Kalah evidence ranks practical moves and explains extra turns, captures, store gain and the reply you leave. Sparse endgames remain exact; normal play uses transparent depth-limited local search.

WHY THIS VERSION
Fast enough for a casual game, deep enough to train
The main board stays simple: choose an opponent, choose who starts, and play. If you want more, the same page also includes exact late-game tactics, one deterministic Daily Tactic, local move review, autosave and browser-local records.
When only a small number of pit seeds remain, the engine solves the final store margin exactly.
A separate training path gives repeatable exact positions without cluttering the normal match.
Autosave, records and review evidence stay in this browser.
