How to play Go

Rules used here

Règles chinoises par aire · 9 × 9 · komi 7.5 pour les blancs. Capturez les groupes sans libertés. Suicide et superko positionnel sont interdits. Deux passes consécutives comptent les pierres et les points vides entourés. Résolvez les captures contestées avant de passer ; les pierres restantes sont vivantes. Les zones neutres ne rapportent rien. Pas de handicap dans cette version.

Read a position

An isolated stone away from the edge has four liberties. A neighbouring opponent reduces that count. Connect to a friendly group to share liberties, and watch for groups left with only one.

A detail to notice

Before both players pass, resolve disputed captures on the board. This version counts remaining stones as alive and uses Chinese area scoring with 7.5 komi for White; it does not run a separate dead-stone negotiation.
