It takes some tricky analysis to work out the Japanese score, due to uncertainty about life/death; likewise it's not easy for a program to recognize when moving is no longer to its advantage.
How about bringing in a Monte Carlo routine after both players have passed?--as a scoring referree, set to fill up the board (but avoiding eye-filling and self-atari except in ko situations) until all legal moves are played, then either a) Do a Chinese score or b) use information re which groups are still on the board & where the final borders ended up to score the actual ending position?
