ConstructionProblem7/Solution

On a regular board, with "normal" rules, this diagram has the fewest stones:

[Diagram]

B3 at B1 and W4 at W2

Congrats to fractic for finding it.


On an irregularly sized board, while sticking to the idea of normal rules, tapir's incredible solution seems totally unbeatable:

[Diagram]

B3 at B1, W4 at W2.

3x1 board.



If you allow suicide, the problem completely loses its point, but this idea by fractic seemed funny enough to include as a solution:

[Diagram]

W2 at B1, B3 at B1, W4 at W2=B1

1x1 board, suicide allowed.

Judgment as to whether this diagram is simpler than the previous one is left to the reader.
