None. I'd turn the board.

Just walk to the other side!
Serious answer:
Three, and I think there are three possible locations where the resulting shape could be. (i.e., there's three ways to do it)

Three is correct but I see only one way to do it and the resulting shape is always at the same position. Maybe I am mistaken. Which stones do you mean?

None; once placed, a stone may not be moved (except when captured). That is the weight of a stone.
That aside, this puzzle was in one of the Lufia RPGs on SNES. Haven't forgotten it since then.

I must have seen this before, because I just knew this was the answer...

Well, there are 6 ways. They just happen to be in the same location.

I guess it depends on what you consider to be a different way. To me, moving the bottom stone to the top right is a different action than moving the same stone to the top left.
But, yes, I am kind of trolling.
