<history>Klotski is a puzzle originating in the early 20th century. Its exact origin is not fully known, possibly emerging from the United States' 15-puzzle or the Chinese Huarong Dao.</history>
<board>
<pieces>There are pieces of various sizes that can be moved around the board.</pieces>
<tomove>Click an arrow to slide a piece to an adjacent, empty space.</tomove>
<towin>Move the large 2x2 piece to the target area.</towin>
</board>
<rules>
<rule>Pieces cannot overlap or leave the boundaries of the board.</rule>
<rule>Pieces cannot be removed from the board or moved through other pieces.</rule>
<rule>The puzzle is solved when the large 2x2 piece reaches the target area, regardless of the locations of other pieces.</rule>
</rules>
<strategies>
<strategy>Plan how to efficiently move disruptive pieces away from the path to the target area.</strategy>
<strategy>Ensure empty board spaces remain in useful locations, as pieces cannot move unless there is space to move into.</strategy>
<strategy>Consider alternate paths to the target area, rather than immediately traveling in a straight line.</strategy>
</strategies>
