I'm really lost now. a_i is the number of stones we have adjacent to a
liberty at intersection i? Do we need to know the location of our
liberties to update sum a_i? How is this easier than just remembering
the locations of all real liberties you saw? How do we know that the
stones around i are from the same group? What are the n_i in
sum(a_i*n_i)? is {1,2,3,4}*nums supposed to be a cartesian product of
two sets? Is this related to what you said about encoding x and y
separately?
