I meant changing the orginal resolution of the images, so that you don’t have to rescale them. It’s quite convenient to just copy and paste the image, without having to change the text at all.
Okay, I’ve received the rule. It’s a hard one (but not artificially hard, creatively hard)!
I’ll be changing this post to add new koans.

Okay, since it’s a hard one I’m taking the liberty of submitting three koans at once:

All red.
Some more boards on a similar theme, just trying to find a green one:

Guess what? All red

Oh well, an attempt was made! 
Last three koans for now, then I’ll let someone else have some fun too:
Edit: My experiments so far seem to suggest that two white stones and one black stone will always be red
Edit 2: Ah, extrapolating from 9 datapoints was not correct in this case… Thanks for the clue Vsotvep!

All red, but I’ll grant you a green one for the effort.

I’m having trouble find any rule that’s consistent with all of the koans so far.
I think we should guess some rules. That would force the creation of counterexamples, which may also help reveal the rule.

Oooh, I think I might see something. It seems like white chains are not allowed to be “too close” to each other, in some sense.

There is also a red position that’s just a single white stone.
What’s a rule that captures this?

Ah you’re right, I missed that. Looked so promising otherwise.
I’ll just make this guess, which I think works with the current boards, and might give us a useful counterexample:
There must be at least one black stone on the board, and each pair of white chains must be at least 3 units apart (where we measure distance between chains as the minimum distance between the centers of a pair of stones, one from each chain). In other words, at least a two space jump apart.

Brain officially fried.

Yup, you’ll have to think outside the box.

So is there a chance this could be easily mistaken as green I wonder.
