The superb Deathstar formation



Just brilliant, it clearly says that this board is mine and just look at the size of it

This formation is unrealistic. To start off Black must begin on the side, this is a known mistake.

This formation may not be as powerful as it seems. There're too many cutting points in it, which can be easily exploited by White to cut the shape apart.

ChrisSchack: But it's made to hold off a large-scale assault...

Anon: Is it a coincidence that the Death Star looks exactly like Weebl?

Raine?: The fatal flaw in this formation is that it falls instantly to the Skywalker Tesuji. Finding the correct point is difficult; ancient texts and pro commentary say that the proper point can only be revealed by an advanced form of intuition known as "The Force." However, the result is devastating:

The Resulting Board



Anonymous I once played half of the deathstar in one game.

Can't remember the game exactly but it was somthing like that^. I was black by the way. And I agree with anyone who says the full death star is 99% impossible.


antere: Impossible for amateurs certainly. Oh and that game looks more like "omg-half-the-board-is-white's-and-the-other-half-is-mostly-black's-with-two-living-white-groups-in- it-oh-and-there's-a-half-dead-black-group-in-white's-half-too-and-T13-seems-to-have-been-chipped-off-the-board" :P
