A dragon is defined as a set of stones and a group of allies s.t. all 
the stones in the set are adjacent to each other, all the stones in the 
set are owned by members of the allied group, and no stones adjacent to 
the set were owned by a mutual ally of those allies. Well, Rob's stone 
at G3, now that he has an ally which  Glotmorf doesn't, is a set of 
stones s.t. all the stones in the set are adjacent to each other, all 
the stones in the set are owned by members of the group of you and him, 
and there are no adjacent stones owned by mutual allies of you and him; 
the set also has no adjacent empty locations, and therefore no 
liberties; so it gets captured.
