I've asked this question of a couple of people and got different
answers, so I thought I'd check here.
Suppose, under Japanese rules, I throw a (hopeless) stone into your
territory. I keep passing until you've actually removed it (playing
four stones inside your own territory, thus losing a net three
points). If you try to pass as well, I stubbornly insist that the
stone is alive, thus restarting the game.
What prevents this sort of abuse?
iirc, if you can demonstrate that the stone is dead, then you do not
have to actually capture it. this probably works ok except in strange
cases like http://gobase.org/online/intergo/?query=%22mannen%20ko%22
and http://gobase.org/online/intergo/?query=%22itte%20yose%20ko%22
where one can argue about it or get confused.
