THE ESSENTIALS
How to Play
- Place on an empty intersection; black moves first. A chain of stones shares its liberties.
- A group without liberties is captured. Suicide and immediate ko recapture are forbidden.
- Pass if you do not want to place a stone. Two consecutive passes start the counting.
- Mark dead groups: both sides must accept the score, or continue the game.
- The variant uses Japanese territory scoring, with a komi of 6.5 points for White.
