Unique Strategic Elements:

• Each stone has 6 liberties (not 4!) = less tactics, more strategy
• No cuts = this is really a surrounding and connecting game
• No ko situations = no repetitive tactical loops
• Massive nakade potential = dramatic endgame scenarios
• 169 intersections = perfect game length
