SLOW PROGRESSIVE GO 9x9

This game uses a progressive mutator in order to increase the dynamics of the original game. However, unrestricted Go drops would kill the game so two restrictions are added: (a) each stone on a drop sequence cannot belong to the same group (b) an atari stops the sequence.

Here's an example at a 9x9 board (white won 41-40). Herein it is used the slow progressive (1222344456667...)
