Any given stone placement has about a 75% chance of going in the specified spot. The other times it goes into any one of the eight vertically, horizontally, and diagonally adjacent locations. When playing a stone on the edge of the board, the stone may miss the board altogether. Illegal moves are not allowed, even as the result of a miss.
Variant: The further a placement is from the nearest stone of the same color, the more likely the placement misses, perhaps even to the extent that it could land several spaces away from the intended location.
