Ing Rules

    Keywords: Rules

The Ing Rules are the rules as devised by Mr. Ing Chang-Ki and promoted by the Ing Foundation.

Some highlights:

  • Area counting that requires 180 stones per player
  • Multiple-stone suicide is allowed.
  • Komi is 8 in even games.
  • Black wins ties.
  • Free handicap stone placement
  • Bent four in the corner is not automatically dead.
  • Additional timing rules (one variation includes losing points for going over the allotted basic time)

Refer to [ext] Ing's SST Laws of Wei-Chi, and [ext] SST discussion. (SST stands for Stones + Spaces = Territory.)

mgoetze: Article 9 stipulates: Before the game, the younger player should clean the board with a soft cloth to show respect for the cleanliness of the equipment. - be sure to keep this in mind if you ever enter a tournament under Ing rules, and call the referee on your opponent if he is younger and fails to clean the board.

(Sebastian:) Good that I seem to be much older than you, and I show no tendency of getting younger. :o)
