Coups
These are translations of coups, or specific patterns of capture, from the square- to the hexboard. Coups named after a specific player are not translated. It would be a bit strange to name them after players who never even played Hexdame. Moreover, most of the more complicated patterns of capture cannot be translated to the hexboard. Other patterns, possibly not even discovered, may be specific for it.
