But what the user thinks is: "1. He was behind, but not desperately behind. 2. The engine did a mistake and he should have been ahead, because he counts Japanese." > It is not a matter of chinese or japanese rules. It is. With Chinese, playing in your own territory is worth 0, in Japanese it is worth -1. The difference is not important when there is territory in dispute because the move is bad in either case. But at the end it does. That's the good news for us: It does not make any diference as long as the program plays a "friendly" endgame. >this behavior has been explained many times by developers I know, and so has general relativity. They still don't get it. Our point is: they are all wrong (Which can be proved.) Their point is this UCT behavior is unpleasant.
