There could have been an adjudication criteria for most (or fewest) stones on the board, but we'll leave it as an interesting consideration to decide on the optimum number of stones for this challenge.

Feel free to experiment with different amounts of stones on the board!

The Adjudication Criteria will remain unchanged for this challenge.
