I don't understand. I think everyone is thinking too visually. What does "straight" mean in the context of go? Only liberties are meaningful. It is isotropic if you stop visualizing the shape and only consider the graph.
I think "straight" would mean that when moving from one node to an adjacent one, you make the move that maximizes the distance from your origin. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
