The Second Go Battle Royale ⚔

It does not matter to me who wins. Right now, it seems Green and Gold are the next ones to die. I would like to see if there is a way for one of us to reach a higher position, even if it means sacrificing a group.

The only color we have any hope to defeat before ourselves is Orange, but that is proving difficult given the current state of the game. I am not seeing anything so I was hoping someone with more wisdom could offer some insight.

This leads me to wonder if, in a future game, rules along these lines would be interesting:

  1. A player is only eliminated once they have zero stones on the board
  2. Groups die when they run out of liberties
  3. The game ends when all players pass or one player eliminates all others
  4. Final score is determined by territory

That seems like it might be more in-line with “normal” go rules. We would need some kind of ko rule.
