After recalling this meme, I have been wondering if there are variants created in which thé stones can move sometimes ?
Seems liké it could be interesting.

What do you mean? When could the stones move? They never move, that’s how Go is played is it not? Maybe I’m misunderstanding you…
They talk about a go variant. (Another game as go)

Oh, I think I get it. Like a game that is like Go but one in which the stones are allowed to be moved around while the game is in progress. Is that it?

What about the naive solution? On each turn, instead of placing a stone, one may choose instead to move 1 of their stones already on the board to an adjacent empty point (whatever Ko rule is in effect applies as normal; if you’re not using Superko, you’re on your own; start using Superko)
This seems too weak to me, as in most cases simply adding a new stone would be just better. Perhaps being able to move any stone to any of the liberties of its string would be powerful enough? So a single stone could still move 1 in each direction, but larger strings could slither faster? Still would normally be better to just add a stone, though
Maybe use one of those two options, but you optionally do it each turn in addition to placing a stone? So you’re not giving up a stone placement to do it
