• The winner is the player whose stones were all beaten.
• In the event that a player still has stones, but no longer can draw, there are different sets of rules: The player who can not move, has won ( international rules )
• The game is drawn.
• The player who has fewer stones on the ground, wins; case of a tie, the game is drawn ( FICS rules)
• Who can not move, suspends until it can draw again. If no one can pull more, the game is drawn.
• Draw there is also by agreement, by three-time repetition of position or by the 50 - move rule.
