Great, I’ll play G18.
@Maharani, could you play A17 this turn? I think I have to do something else now to make sure I don’t die.
Okay

Round 70
Team | Blue | Green | Pink |
---|---|---|---|
Black | @Maharani: A17 | @Jon_Ko: R4 | @Vsotvep: J16 |
White | @yebellz: A17 | @Feijoa: G18 | @terrific: J16 |
Maharani and yebellz collide at A17, terrific and Vsotvep collide at J16. After placing all stones …
… the green chain consisting of J15 and K15 is removed due to having no liberties and containing no stones placed this round. The white chain connected to J16 contains a stone placed this round and therefore (partly) survives. Furthermore A17 gets removed. New Position:

Another entertaining round, I’m very pleased with how the capture rule is working
Nothing exciting to do up there now, I’ll go clean something else up.
@Maharani, could you play on the same place again? I want to attempt something this round.
Gotcha

G16* was removed.
Right, thank you!
Isn’t Q4 dead now?
Right, thank you for pointing it out. Sorry for the mistakes everybody
Good, I get to connect!
So… Blue and Pink keep fighting these connection points for the rest of the game, leaving all other battles to Green?
Actually, can someone explain to me what’s so important about A17? Isn’t it just a point?
It’s about A17 and A18. So two points that could go either way. Which makes a difference of four points (although I’m not sure I’m using the term “points” correctly here, as we’re using area scoring).
And then there’s A15 as a possible follow-up.
In case it ends up being the case that four of us have to continuously play moves that get removed immediately, I think it’s helpful if the remaining member of team Black throws some stones in empty territory that is crrently only bordering white stones; to reduce the amount of territory that can be claimed to be white if we accidentally trigger scoring.
Anybody got a count, anyway…?
