Case contract

Input [board_after_move, row, col, captured_points]. A ko ban point exists only when exactly one stone was captured, the played stone has no friendly orthogonal neighbour, and it has exactly one liberty. Return the captured point or None.

Why this case matters

Go servers and scoring tools compute this value automatically; a wrong answer changes a game result.
