Loops are possible in a 2x2
- Anderkent 11y agoA move that returns to a previous board position is illegal, AFAIK. http://senseis.xmp.net/?TrompTaylorRules http://senseis.xmp.net/?TrompTaylorRules : 6. A turn is either a pass; or a move that doesn't repeat an earlier grid coloring
- tel 11y agoLoops are usually disallowed intentionally in this sort of thing, the so-called "superko" rule.
- drdeca 11y agoIsn't it generally a rule that the game board can never be returned to a state it was previously in?

- tel 11y agoGenerally the rule is that you can't return the board to the position it was last in, but some rule sets extend it to any position it was ever in to avoid a few pathological scenarios. Without this infinite loops can exist.
- sago 11y agoIf it was because of loops, wouldn't there be infinite games?
