Wow and thank you!

Thanks a lot for this new GIPF game! Is the normal variant implemented?

Cool. Thanks

Implemented is only advanced (Stack6) variant.

How can we perform the Lyngk move?

OK I got it, Lyngk moves can be done only with claimed colours. Say you have claimed red and have a red network of pawns seeing each others, you can bounce any number of times starting from a red pawn to any other (at most once on each) until you finally make a normal claimed move with initial red pawn.

A user tournament has been created (thank you @klaashaas!): https://www.littlegolem.net/ng/a/Ctrn.action?view=&dto.id=1068

I'm the first one that loses a lyngk game on LG !!!!!

"Lyngk moves can be done only with claimed colours" - I hope it is according to rules ?!

Oh dang, the first championship started just 19 minutes ago! Would have been interested in playing, but maybe next time then...

A huge shout-out and thank you to Richard for keeping the site fresh! :)

1st Championship will start later ....

Thank you, Richard! Adding another great game like Lyngk (maybe Tzaar next???) reminded me to renew my membership.

"“Lyngk moves can be done only with claimed colours” - I hope it is according to rules ?!""

Yes, this is according to the rules.

Richard, will the standard variant be added, too?

I'm with ypercube... please add the standard variant. :)

In each variant, is it possible to stack two jokers?

If yes what do they achieve?

2 or even jokers is possible.

2 or even 3 ...

@Rex:  (maybe Tzaar next???) - TZAAR is already implemented ?! - https://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/games/gamedetail.jsp?gtid=tzaar&page=main

@Richard: Doh! Sorry, I meant YINSH!!!!

Thanks Richard

Pretty cool game, liking it alot. Short games so far for me, I feel like I have lost some of my games on my very first move even, when I kind of blindly moved before understanding the game. Wondering how long a game would take on average given perfect play.
