Interesting proposal. To make sure that I understood you correctly, let's count an artificial example position (on 9x9-board) where both players have passed intentionally: Final position: . x o . o . o . . o o o o o . . o . . . . . . . o . o x x x x . . o o x . . . x . o o x x . . . x . o . x . . . . x . o . x . x x x x . o o x o . . . . . . . x . "Chinese style counting" with all stones considered alive: - X O O O - O O O O O O O O - - O O - - - - - - O O O X X X X - - O O X X X X X - O O X X X X X X - O - X - X X X X - O - X - X X X X - O O X O - - - - - - - X - Cells with X count for player x, cells with O counts for player o, cells with - are neutral. Did I get it correctly? Ingo. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
