Weekly Challenge 147: Go Stick Together
Win a game of Go 9x9 vs @PS-Greedy-Two-Move (or @PST-Greedy-Tom) with each of your stones placed adjacent (vertically or horizontally, not diagonally) to your existing stones.
Adjudication Criteria:
1. Biggest score difference
2. Fewest moves (plies) in overall game
3. Earliest Entry
Additional Clarification:
- Takebacks are not permitted
- Your first stone can be placed in any position. All subsequent stones must be placed next to another of your stones that is on the board. This must be connected horizontally or vertically.
- Diagonal connections are not valid!
- For example if your first stone is placed on e5, you may only place your second stone on one of the following: d5, e4, e6, f5.
This week's challenge is based on idea that was suggested to us by @ronin3b. If you want to suggest a challenge please message @statmatt or @jheps and it will be considered!
This week's challenge ties in with the Go 19x19 MSO tournament which takes place this Sunday: playstrategy.org/swiss/4nbxPbKP
