I think you are not supposed to move anything.  Just solve the puzzle in
your head (if that's the right way to put it) and when you're done press
space to go to the next puzzle.  I almost overlooked that the modeline
displays who is to move.  There is a key binding for ? which supposedly
displays the solution but apparently the file doesn't contain the
solutions.  It seems a bit inconvenient to press space a hundred times
(or solve 100 puzzles in a row :-) to get to the later positions,
though.
