Just use "Chinese". It is mentioned in FF[3] (e.g., see

<Flamebait> Notice that the Chinese rules don't really use positional

Chinese rules are a bit more sophisticated...</Flamebait>
Well yes. When wms wrote KGS, he implemented what the Chinese rules
said (or rather, what the official English translation of them said)
rather than what they meant.

SGF(2) has a place to specify the ruleset, according to
http://www.red-bean.com/sgf/properties.html:
Property: RU
Propvalue: simpletext
Propertytype: game-info
Function: Provides the used rules for this game.
Because there are many different rules, SGF requires
mandatory names only for a small set of well known rule sets.
Note: it's beyond the scope of this specification to give an
exact specification of these rule sets.
Mandatory names for Go (GM[1]):
"AGA" (rules of the American Go Association)
"GOE" (the Ing rules of Goe)
"Japanese" (the Nihon-Kiin rule set)
"NZ" (New Zealand rules)
How can we specify the Chinese rules normally used in computer Go?
They're *almost* equivalent to AGA rules, but AGA uses situational superko
while Chinese uses positional superko. The difference would only come up
extremely rarely, potentially making for a nasty bug.
For those who don't know these terms:
