Before triggering that, isn't "a" a simultaneous capture?

Edit: nvm, you mentioned 3 stones XD.

When I was reading, I realized that the below is actually a cut:

$$ | . + . X . X X O . O . |

$$ | . . . . X O X X O . . |
$$ | . . . . . X . O X X . |
$$ -------------------------[/go]


With 97 being the capture.

Though, if black answers my 95 with 96 in the diagram, I think I probably have a way to live even without this interesting cut shape.

Edit:
Though, the above cut removes one possible resistance from black:

$$ | . . . . X O X X O . . |
$$ | . . . . . X . O X X . |

Black captures at "a" and then I can use that weird cut.

Ah, that simutaneous capture XDDDDD

I resign, thank you for the game :) I admit that my initial impressions were off - the variant is quite interesting, though confusing.

That was an awesome spectacle to behold! Thanks for the unexpected treat, guys. Wandering around my studio playing the sax, and watching two excellent Go players test out Redstone. It doesn't get any better :)

And Mark, I want to eat both my words and my hat, that was fun, deep and interesting!

The endgame could get tedious when you start filling out all your eyes, but with skill you'll know when you've won and lost and be happy to resign, and besides, Go is tedious when your opponent starts playing in your territory when each stone is clearly dead.

So, anyone else for a game?

No worries :) I'm glad you like the game.

Hopefully someone will accept your challenge. Luis? :D

I'm interested in trying this out with you topazg. I've made a new thread for it:

Congratulations to both players! :)

Interesting game with new insights by both.

And congratulations to Mark! A very interesting go variant! :)

Hmmm. When will we see the first book of Tsume-redstone problems. ;)
