Thank you,Terry, for the explanation. I understand (and I think I already said it too) that normal go is easier. What Nick said before was: "This calculation is correct for Hahn scoring, but not for normal scoring, or indeed any other way of scoring." The way I read it, just because one way is easier doesn't mean it is incorrect in other cases. My question was about why he thinks the calculation is incorrect for other ways of scoring. best regards, Vlad _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
