The Go program doesn't understand that its pieces are going to be captured. It just lets you complete these around the pieces one by one, and it has many opportunities to rescue them.

But as far as we can tell, it's because at the same point I was making earlier about circuits is a terrible representation for this basic concept in Go of a group of stones... A group means a set of stones on the grid where they're connected to each other by vertical or horizontal adjacency.
