Time to lern the rules again :distorted_face:

I went through the old threads to figure out the rules. So:

White and black are the teams. Each team strives to end up with the most territory

Question: Do captures also count towards the team points?

The colorful colors are what counts for capture / liberties.

This time I need to avoid wearing blue light lenses while playing to see the colors correctly

Dont wanna spread wrong information, but Im kinda sure its purely about the territory and captures do not count.

White and black stones can also be captured if surrounded, if that answers your question. I may not understand it correctly.

I’m not sure if I understand my question either, but what happens if:

  • a white-blue stone is surrounded by 3 black-red stones, and one black-blue
  • a white-blue stone is surrounded by 3 black-red stones, and one white-red

We use area scoring (as in chinese rules), that’s why captures don’t count as points directly.

The white chain (consisting of just the one white-blue stone) has no liberties and is therefore captured.

The blue chain (consisting of the one white-blue stone) has no liberties and is captured.
