  12 p.
  13   No diagonals are considered on the board.
  14   Therefore, "adjacent" will mean "orthogonally adjacent".

  17   li Players alternate turns, starting with Black.
  18   li.
  19     A move consists in putting a stone on an intersection of the board.
  20     This stone will never move. However, it can be captured.
  21   li.
  22     A move adjacent to a connected group of enemy stones "kills" the group
  23     if it has exactly one liberty left: its stones are removed from the board.
  24     The capturing player thus wins.
  25
  26 p.
  27   Considering stones as vertices on a graph, linked by an edge if they
  28   are adjacent, a connected group is a connected sub-graph.
  29   On the diagram below, removing a stone at the marked location
  30   breaks the connection.

  42   The liberties of a group are all the free intersections adjacent to a stone
  43   of the group, as illustrated.

  51   The initial configuration is formed by two pairs of groups of one stone
  52   each, with only two liberties per group. Everything is disconnected.
