Is suicide (placing a stone with no liberties) legal?
The rulebook states the suicide rule; forum replies add the exceptions in other rulesets.

Normally no. You may not place a stone that leaves your own group with no liberties, unless that move captures an enemy group. A few rulesets do allow suicide, but not Japanese or Chinese rules.
