fence post
Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2020 4:59 pm
a go variant,
each piece is a fence post that only connect left to right, or top to bottom,
or with two fence post on the same intersection; all four directions.
liberties work in a similar manner as normal go, if you only have a one direction post, it requires only two opponent fence posts to capture.
note adding a 1 direction post adjacent to the same direction post gives no extra liberties.
adding a different direction post adjacent to the other, give 1 additional liberty, and must be "surrounded"
before capture of the original.
pass to end the game.
scoring is the same as normal go.
some example situations
here, this small group has 4 liberties if its in the middle of the board.
this wall has 2 liberties, if its at the edge.
