When you swap the first stone, as opposed to swapping sides, you don't simply place a white stone in the same space the black stone was in. You place it in the MIRROR IMAGE position, reflected on the long diagonal. For example, if black plays 1.B2 then that is on the long diagonal from A1 to K11, and the white swap stone does indeed go in B2. But 1.A4 swaps to D1, 1.H6 swaps to F8, etc.
It's like playing a quick, no-trivia version of the old 80s show Blockbusters.

The computer program Biff refers to is Hexy, by Vadim Anshelevich. In that program, a swapped stone does indeed move to the mirror image position.

@brotheronthewing You can do it that way. The computer program I use doesn't. Whatever works for you.
