What scoring mode are you using?

SORRY - I was completely wrong here,
I just realize that I was still using GnuGo 3.6
for scoring instead of 3.7.10!

(for chinese :
--score estimate --chinese-rules for japanese:
--score estimate)

In my actual computer Go tournament I just set up SmartGo2.7 to play GoIntellect10,
and from 150 9x9games there are 7 with a seki in the final position.

5 of these were scored wrongly because I mistakingly had
scored with GnuGo3.6 - I now have changed it to 3.7.11 and
everything seams to be perfect!

With GNU Go 3.6 you can try "--score aftermath" instead. It plays out the game until all stones except ones in seki are unconditionally settled, which usually gives a reliable seki detection. Also with current development versions "--score aftermath" is expected to be the most reliable scoring option, but the difference is much smaller nowadays.
