Figure out what happens with all those go stones. they get wiped away when a bishop moves from a1 to right top :) Note that if you go play using the go rules, you win quickly too with the chess pieces, because a single chess piece has more liberties than any single go stone has. If you put a go stone at say b2 then you have 4 liberties. A big king however has like 16 liberties at once as it occupies many points at the same time :)
