Go
If my stone has no liberties but captures enemy stones, is it still suicide?
The rulebook explicitly says capture is checked before suicide.

No. Captures are resolved first; the removed enemy stones free up liberties for your stone, so the move is legal. It is suicide only if your group still has no liberties after captures.
