I was both wrong and confused when I wrote that. It is not always possible to jump off the board in this implementation when a stack is big enough to reach outside the board. A very simple counterexample is A2-A1. That puts a 2-stack in the corner. Such a stack has the range to jump off, but cannot be removed in the current Ludii implementation. That's a violation of the rules of the game.

But I confused this with a stack being completely stuck, i.e. not having any moves, which is a different question. That's the situation I vaguely saw was impossible.
