 I agree it is hard and it is not useful. 

 For starters  . .  .  what is a group ? 


 I think it useful to be able to ask questions about sets of strings. 

e.g. can any string in the set live ?  can all the strings in the set
live ?
     can strings connect ?  can strings be cut ?

 You could then investigate the stability of various combinations of
strings.

 But to think of a set of stones as a concrete group  and keep track of
it's
identity as the game progress . . .  Hmmmm ?
