Diplomatic Go đź—ˇ The Second Game

End of Round 20

Every player managed to play their first move, which is a pass in case of image orange.

Several stones are captured. First of all the stone at C8 is captured. Second, both image@Sanonius’s group of stones around L1 and image@Haze_with_a_Z’s stone at M2 are “old” groups without liberties, and thus are removed. This gives the “new” group at N1 a new liberty, thus this stone remains on the board.

Any player with 6 stones or less on the board is eliminated at the start of Round 20.
image@Sanonius is eliminated this round, since they start with only 5 stones remaining on the board after the capture.
All other players enter Round 20 with at least 7 stones, and therefore are not eliminated.
