AlakGame1
PageType: OngoingGame
Scartol: Alak is a one-dimensional variant of Go that is played in Arde, the 2-D planet in A.K. Dewdney's book The Planiverse. It seems much less complex than 2-D Go, but let's give it a shot and see what we find. As explained on the page Alak, a player may fill in the final liberty of her own chain, which is the equivalent of making two eyes. The board is 1x11, so that's what we've got here. I'll take black -- who wants white? I want white - Migeru
(Is there a way to get just a straight line on the diagram?)
B3: This looks good. I can fill in the blank space between the stones to make the chain live if I have to.
Isn't this suicide? Isn't W4 an illegal move? Charles? -- Scartol
