This case is simple. You needn't capture and remove the "dead" stone actually before the game ends. If you think it's alive, you have the right to "resume" to game after "double pass" to make it alive (e.g. make two eyes).
But I have to say, there are two many arbitrary "judging" rules in Japanese rule system which prevents it becoming a friendly (no matter to a human or a computer) and scientific rule. In fact, in some special cases, you would see the _huge_ result difference by Chinese and Japanese rules. There are also some defects on Chinese (or similiar Inn) rule system - e.g. how to balance the black and while, super-go... Anyway, the first, coming, international match is a good start to raise a new uniform rule. 2008/9/16 Ross Werner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Dave Dyer wrote: > >> Japanese: bad. >>> >> >> I don't think this is the case at all.
