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…? ![]()
