I guess so?

I mean did you play B1 specifically?

Oh I thought I can’t play there since blue has no liberties. I forgot multiple players are playing at the same time. Okay let me try.

Huh, I missed that white could be captured in the bottom right. I thought it was black’s plan to sacrifice the green stones as long as all of them die and not just black.

And I think if white-blue and white-green had swapped their moves in the last round, green would have had an eye at A1 because of the old-then-new capture rule*. Thus only black would have died?

Sorry for kibitzing :sweat_smile:

*I don’t know what’s a good name for that rule. It’s some generalization of the snapback rule, maybe the name should reflect that.

Well. I excuse me to everyone and especially to my team: My IQ is way to low for this mode :sweat_smile:

I feel like this guy in the other thread who tries to count territorry for a week and cant get it done.

What the heck! Ah well more room for the blue group to grow :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Right there with you. I couldnt score this game if my life depended on it!

Possibly so! But also Black/Green could prevent that by playing A2 or B1.

Nah I don’t think so. It’s just very different from normal go, basically like a completely new game, so we all have little experience with it.

I hope you and everybody enjoys the experience! Personally I kindof view it as a mixture of game and experiment, and I enjoy discovering what happens :slightly_smiling_face: Maybe that’s why I love variants, it brings some fresh air and new “mystery” :grin:

Blue is down to six liberties, I hope we don’t accidentally kill it!
