OK, my mistake, I'm rather clueless about scoring methods. And even if
it was just a pure stone count, I still should have written komi > 1.

Quite the opposite. If white passes after black's first move

How is the center point handled?I assume it plays to the center point as

In the simplest possible way. If there is a legal move obtaining mirror
symmetry it will play it, otherwise revert to normal move generation. It
does not worry about komi, nor a

Interesting might be a setting like the following:
When gnu-mi (short for "gnugo --mirror") has to make a
move in a position, the following procedure is run:

Ok, so I am right about this, you take advantage of the asymmetry of
captures.
But go programs do not KNOW they are playing mirror go and would have no

GNU Go knows if the game is mirror-go or not, and "decide" to break
it when a sufficent number of moves is reac

Again, I don't understand go so well, but how do you win against mirror
go?
It seems you must either take advantage somehow of the non-symmetry of the
center point OR take advantage of the fact that a capture could break the
symmetry. Is that right?
If it's by capture it seems that since you wi
