Living group is an important concept in go. Living group is safe against any play by the opponent. At the end of the game, all group should be able to defend themselves.
The goal is to capture 3 (or more) opponent stones. Game ends when a first player has captured 3 or more stones. A repetition of an exact previous position is forbidden. Other rules are similar to Capture Go.
Connecting stones is important skill both in capture go and go. Keeping stones connected helps keep stones safe. If the opponent can cut stones into separate groups, it is more difficult to protect both groups.
