> 
>    On a 4x6 board, two players named "TOOT" and "OTTO" alternate dropping 
>    their pieces from the top of the board, down a column, attempting to 
>    be the first to spell their name.  If a player spells both names
>    simultaneously then he wins.  If a player spells only the opponent's
>    name then the opponent wins.

> Movement Rules
> 
>    Move Syntax: <column><letter>
>    i.e. move "BT" would drop the letter "T" down column B.
> 
>    On your turn, you drop either a "T" or an "O" down any column that is
>    not "full". The piece will drop and stop either at the bottom of the
>    column or on just above the topmost piece in that column.

>     Each player only gets six 'T's and six 'O's to begin with.  
>     If the board fills up before either player spells their name then the
>     game is a tie.
