Re: Value of a group

[David Mechner <mechner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A fundamental concept in go strategy is that of an "imporant" (cutting)
stone. Important stones separate groups that might be attacked,
unimportant stones separate nothing, or separate live groups. So on top
of immediate territory value assocated with a group you have to add the
expected profit from attacks against the groups the group in question
separates.
