Warning! I've mucked with GO and GONNECT
As an experiment, I've modified the Go and Gonnect games engines to
support more than 2 players. However, only 2 player games of Go
will be rated.
This change will affect the dynamic of captures a bit. The capture
rule is... if a stone is placed that closes off the last liberty
of a group (or multiple groups) of stones, that group will be
captured.
An example
. . . .
. . . .
. . . c
. . X a
. c b a
If a plays at X, the 'b' group is captured.
if b plays at X, the 'a' group is captured.
if c plays at X, both the a and the b groups are captured.
