Quoting Jacques Basaldúa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
When you detect self atari in the playouts (something I haven't
tried yet, but
from recent posts in this group I am convinced that it is an important issue)
a new problem arises: How can you score the board _fast_ at the end?
Valkyria makes a simple loop that goes through each position on the
board. Remaining stones are always counted as points. Stones in seki
are alive and should be counted as usual so that is not different. The
dames created by sekis have to be detected and differentiated from
eyes. It is enough to just count the black and white stones in the 4
adjacent positions to see if it is an eye or a dame. There should be
no dame that does not have *both* a black and white adjacent stone.
Best
Magnus
