Prisoners
Difficulty: Introductory Keywords: Go term
Prisoners are the stones that are taken off the board after their liberties are reduced to zero.
“在围棋术语中把对方棋子的气全部围住叫作“吃子”,把被吃掉的棋子全部拿出棋盘外叫作“提子”。
Depending on the rule set, prisoners either
- are tossed back to their original supply, or
- are kept separate and visible (e.g. in the lid).
See Samsung 2004 Dispute for what happens if there is any confusion about that.
