How to Use
Place black and white stones on a 19x19 grid to capture territory and opponent stones. OBJECTIVE: Control more territory than your opponent by the end of the game. CONTROLS: • Click any intersection on the grid to place a stone • Players alternate turns - black goes first • Pass your turn if no good moves remain BASIC RULES: • Stones with no adjacent empty spaces (liberties) are captured and removed • You cannot place a stone where it would have no liberties unless it captures opponent stones • You cannot recreate the exact same board position from the previous turn • Game ends when both players pass consecutively SCORING: • Count empty intersections you control (territory) • Add captured opponent stones to your score • White gets bonus points for going second • Highest total wins STRATEGY TIP: Focus on surrounding territory rather than just capturing individual stones.
