Weekly Challenge 45: The Fewest Pebbles

Win a game of Go 9x9 as Black vs @PS-Greedy-One-Move with the least number of moves (passing doesn't count as a move).

The bot will play moves until it can't gain any area, and it will only accept 'dead stone offers' of zero stones.

Adjudication Criteria:
1. Fewest stones placed by you (moves, not passes)
2. Earliest Entry
Closing Date: Monday 19th February 1200 UTC+0
