I >don't remember, I don't want to think more about it. in theory infinite. However there is no problem for the chessplayer to win. With all your 16 pieces on the board you can occupy like 20% of the board and within 2 moves you can hop away any go stone. Because you capture so many at 1 move, you always have liberties left from the square you come from. so the go player can never shut you in and capture the piece! Also don't forget that all your 8 pawns promote to queen. Now that will hurry up the game! You win with 361 - 0 easily :) > As chess is doomed, I'm thinking about another way to defeat go: what about >soccer? We play soccer, Laurence plays go. That's it!
