Sz'Kwa

   

I'm not sure Sz'Kwa is strictly a variant, it's played in southern Taiwan and is a sort of kiddies Go.

An examples of the board is given in [ext] Reference 1

Each player has 25 stones. The rules are as in Go, but the loser is determined either by the smallest number of captures during the game, or by a player running out of stones. Territory is not relevant.

Ko repetitions aren't banned in the rules as you eventually run out of stones.

(Page updated based on "The Alien IQ test" by Clifford Pickover, ISBN 0-486-42007-8. This book challenges the reader to extend the game into higher dimensions. Conceptually, this is quite elegant for 3D, but mind-boggling thereafter.)

The internet has virually no references for this game.
