I'm sorry to bother you, but I don't get it. There must be some subtle
detail that escapes me...
Please try to explain why the "hahn calculation" isn't working in a
normal game so as to ensure a win. I'm talking about strong human
players.
In my view, we have
hahn: object of the game = max board score
normal: object of the game = board score > komi
Both seem just as easy and interesting.
