Instead of placing a stone on their turn, a player can opt to have two touching stones swap positions.

superko might prevent worst abuses here

How should the user input work? Should it behave differently in pixel go?

Instead of clicking on an empty space, you would click on a stone to indicate you want to swap the stone with another stone. The adjacent stones would become highlighted. At that point, if the user clicks anywhere else, the swap move is canceled. If the user clicks one of the highlighted stones, the two stones are swapped.

It seems like it'd be a lot more complicated to special case pixel go for not a lot of pay off.
