No matter how you look at it, you can never solve the problem of a malicious opponent who wants to prolong the game needlessly. You can only try to punish him for doing so with something like Japanese scoring. But if a player is already losing the game there is no incentive NOT to fill in every point and play to the bitter end. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
