Rules in short
  • Players take turns placing a stone on a line intersection. You play black and move first.
  • A group of stones with no free adjacent intersections (liberties) is removed from the board.
  • Suicide is forbidden: you can't place a stone that ends up with no liberties, unless it captures the opponent's stones.
  • Ko: a move can't repeat any previous position on the board.
  • Two passes in a row end the game. Scoring is by area: your stones plus empty intersections surrounded only by you. White gets a komi of 7.5.
  • Dead stones are not removed automatically: capture them before passing, or they'll be counted as alive.
