Usually when people do this they play on a torus, made by connecting opposite sides of the board (out one side continues by entering the other side). Otherwise any connection to the "open edge" is automatically alive, and that seems too easy.

Is go on a board with no edges interesting?   I don't mean an infinite
board, I just mean a board where moves to the edges are prohibited. So a stone next to these edges are always safe. You could play this game on a regular board and just pretend there was an additional intersection
just outside that field of play.

I thought of this because I remember an article where small patterns
were searched with the assumption that any stones on the edge of the
patterns were safe.
