The > book invents a complete classification of semeais with two basic groups, > that is semeais without kos, without approach defects and with carefully > described border conditions. You'll find all the necessary definitions > of terms (from 'semeai eye' via 'stable' to 'semeai class 1'), > assumptions of the cases, principles for their outcomes and a new, now > well designed 'semeai formula'. Although, in comparison to earlier > research articles or books, it is a great advancement of basic semeai > theory (e.g., the 'strong' eyes of classes 1 to 6 do not restrict > themselves to a 'plain liberty' requirement), only later volumes will > solve move order and (endgame) values (and attack the more advanced > topics of kos and approach defects). > > 2) The book's contents makes an essential conribution to - what in some > centuries might become - a complete human reasoning solution of Go and > its theory. While Wolf, Müller et al prefer to create computer > understable solutions of semeai theory with tricks for calculation time > or huge databases, my static status assessment results are suitable also > for the human players and their improvement in playing strength. > > -- > robert jasiek > _______________________________________________ > Computer-go mailing list > [email protected] > http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go -- NEU: FreePhone - 0ct/min Handyspartarif mit Geld-zurück-Garantie!
