I do not know. If the rules are the 'Pente' ones (win by alignement of 5 
or capture of 5 couples), black can at least delay white by taking some 
couples along the line of soon 4 stones (three couples are subjet to 
capture, but at most 2 can be taken, because of a shared stone).


Also, the current count give B:8, W:8, with apparently Black at the 
center of the board, hence as first player, so it should be black to 
play now, not white (unless I get abused by the perspective).
