About this Kata

This Kata was introduced to me by LaurentBossavit --EmilyBache

Difficulty: Medium

Problem Description

Reversi is a board game for two players. More information can be found on Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversi?. This Kata is to write a program that takes a current board position together with information about whose turn it is, and returns a list of the legal moves for that player. A move is only legal if it results in at least one of the opponent's counters being flipped.

(A "." indicates an empty square. A "B" indicates a black piece and a "W" represents a white piece. The trailing "B" indicates that it is black's turn)

You could either output the possible moves as co-ordinates (columns labelled A - H, rows labelled 1 - 8 starting from top left hand corner) like this: [C5, D6, E3, F4]

or graphically like this:
