[pbmserv-dev] Goo

[Randall Bart <barticus@att.net>]

With all the talk about Go, I thought I should bring up another game which 
is called (for obvious reasons) Goo.

Goo is like Go, except on his turn a play places two stones.  After both 
stones are placed, deaths are determined.  To survive, a dragon needs three 
eyes.  Note that you cannot place one stone, remove enemy stones, and place 
the second stone in captured space.   You can place one and pass the 
other.  Ko is the act of exactly reversing the previous move.  This game 
has more of a use for a super ko rule, but I would rather leave it 
out.  There are stalemates in Go, there are more in Goo, but there are even 
more in Chess.  In Goo (like Go) a player with a winning position can 
usually break out of the loop.

Other possible games:  Gooo, Goooo, and Gooooo.  I think it should be 
pretty easy to implement this one on top of the existing Go engine.
