Kibitz Garden ☕ for the Second Diplomatic Go Game

I’d like to quote something I mentioned about this variant regarding Maharani and yebellz moves

@shinuito

Also I imagine on bigger boards you could just aim to have one giant group with lots of liberties to outlast other players. I guess eye spaces are more stable short term in terms of capturing races but ultimately life and death is being decided by the number of stones on the board, not number of eyes.

So Maharani and yebellz aren’t actively making eyes. They kind of have a base on the topside but really they’re just extending across the board. In theory while at peace they could just focus on making as many eyes as possible to be uncapturable but I think with this variant, while everyone else is fighting, just get a big enough group with the most stones and enough space for like 2 eyes and it seems like a good strategy.
