This* sounded like captures and cleared lines would be scored at the end, but nor cleared, so I am confused.

If it’s designed to be a go variant, then I think some kind of liberty capture mechanic should be important. Otherwise other go concepts, like area etc., also don’t make sense, since they’re only a consequence of the capture mechanic.
A mutator to try, I guess. I’m more interested in the Tetris aspects of this, so in my mind, either it works embracing the Tetris, or it doesn’t and it was worth checking out anyway
It seems that the way that stones could block other sides from being played would give a flavor that is somewhat similar to the Pixel Go (with 2x2 blobs), mentioned above:
it looks like exception, not like rule
what about not having such exception?
alternative 1:
you never allowed to create group with 0 liberties
to capture white group, black needs 1 more liberty
alternative 2:
its always allowed to create group with 0 liberties, but all groups with 0 liberties disappear simultaneously before next move
