Thad, I mentioned it to Fencer when I first came to the site. He said it would be on his to do list, but he is quite busy, so it may be awhile. I've also let Dweebo and Richard (Pbem) know about it. My hope is that it will arrive sometime in the not to distant future. Probably, the easiest way to set it up would be to put in a remove stone(s) feature similar to the undo at Dweebo's, i.e. asking opponent if it was acceptable to remove stones at certain locations from the board. The opponent would then be able to make any needed corrections to the removed stones before accepting. And of course the stones would have to be counted individually, rather than in pairs. But, I'm not a programmer, so there may be easier ways to go about the set-up. Also, re: draws, we already have the offer draw feature here and at other sites, so at least I can offer it when the score is 10-10. Whether my opponent accepts or not... :~)

Shouldn't be too hard to program, since all the potential caps are either made by the newest stone, or involve that stone. Correct?

Yes, that should be correct. As long as you say and/or. Because it can be both. Now coming up with a progam to play the strategy is a different matter entirely. Good luck, Mark! Also, it could be played without the number of captures affecting the outcome, but I think that the tension involved with having the potential to lose by captures is a good thing to keep.
