Hello everyone, this is an interesting Go variant I invented partially inspired by a Hikaru no Go scene and Arimaa.

In Push Go, players have the the opportunity to move a stone on the board orthogonally instead of placing a stone. A stone that is moved in a direction in which there is a stone adjacent to it is moved as well or "pushed".

An example below

You may not push a stone that is supported aka ( has two or more stones behind it. )

$$ | . . . 3 . . .|
$$ | . . 1 O O . . |
$$ | . . . . 2 . . |[/go]

Therefore Stone 1 is not able to push and however 3 is.

Other then that, a stone that is pushed cannot be pushed back due to Ko ( in this time you can support your stone with one behind it. ) and stones that are on the edge cannot be pushed.

The game is an interesting variant for me, especially in life and death, I hope you guys enjoy it.
