Influence Go
   

I didn't know what else to call this. I haven't tried it yet, but my idea was to create a variant to practice using thickness and influence. It's just normal Go, but with the initial setup shown below.

Diag.: Setup for "Influence Go"

I suspect that the best opening move is probably at tengen, after which some interesting fighting should break out as both players try to claim some territory and connect to their sides. I play mostly on the Internet, so the odds are against me getting a chance to try this soon. If anyone else does, please edit this page and let us know how it turned out.
