Empty nodes and dead nodes are shown as -1 liberties. For example, a 5x5 board might look like this. The chain in the top-left touches 5 total empty nodes, and the one in the center touches four. The group in the bottom-right only has one liberty; it is in danger of being captured!

 \[ \[-1, 5,-1,-1, 2\], \[ 5, 5,-1,-1,-1\], \[-1,-1, 4,-1,-1\], \[ 3,-1,-1, 3, 1\], \[ 3,-1,-1, 3, 1\], \]

**Signature:** ```typescript getLiberties(): number[][]; ``` **Returns:** number\[\]\[\] ## Remarks RAM cost: 16 GB (This is intentionally expensive; you can derive this info from just getBoardState() )
