I find it very hard to digest the 'sample game', as the positions are very complex, and the board is so large that you cannot see two subsequent positions at once, but have to scroll to get the next one in view. So it is almost impossible to compare them, and see what goes on. There must be a more convenient way to present this.

Normally I would advise to use an Interactive Diagram configured as a game viewer, preloaded with the game you want to show. But I understand that would not be possible here, as the I.D. does not support the Go-like capture. But is should be possible to show all the whole-board images in the same location, one after the other, using buttons to step through those. Like below:

Only with the aid of this I started to see what is going on. But for each step too much happens, in places far removed from each other. To make this useful, it would really need to go through the game in smaller steps. (Sorry about that; I realize it is a lot of work to create diagrams like this.)
