INTRODUCTION

HuaRongDao is an ancient Chinese game. The rules are very easy to understand, but the game is not so easy to solve.

The aim of the game is to move pieces in order to free the largest one from the bottom side of the board, with as few steps as possible. You may not make one piece jump over another, nor can any two pieces overlap. Continuously moving one piece is counted as a single step.
