This might be a decent candidate for "crazy go" night at a Go Congress. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it has been done before.


Some other crazy go variants. In each case, it's regular go, except with an extra rule:

Variant 1: Each player's move cannot be directly adjacent to the opponent's previous move.

Variant 2: After each move, you may choose any point on the board and forbid the opponent from moving there on his immediate next turn.

Variant 3: After the first N moves by each player for some small N, such as 10, every subsequent play must be a knight's move away from an existing stone of your own color. (I've actually tried this one several times, and it's pretty fun - midgame fighting and life and death are weird, but surprisingly much stuff still works, such as ladders, extending cutting stones, hane-at-head-of-2 shapes, etc. By the endgame, most normal moves and sequences will be legal.)

Variant 4: Redefine liberty: of the 8 neighboring fields of a stone two (or more) adjacent fields (in the conventional understanding) must be empty to form a liberty.

Suggestion: :b3: forms a connection with :b1:. Now :w4: no longer connects to :w2:, as it would have to cut across the black connection.

I believe a game using this idea already exists and uses line-shaped pieces to indicate connections.

Twixt is one example, using knight's move connections.
