This does bring up the question though, after capture are the quantum move positions still linked? It seems like they are, and I wasn’t aware when I wrote the rules description.
Yes!
This wasnt obvious to me either from the written rules, but Zi clarified during testing:
We did find a minor issue, i.e., the quantum pairs should live or die together, so once they are removed, the paired positions are still paired, meaning if a new stone is placed on one board in one of the quantum positions, it should also appear in the paired position on the other board.
Oh, good to know! I’ll update the rules description then
