Okay, my program can play Go.  It understands the rules and can do minimax
lookahead.  I think the next step is for me to add some heuristics for group
strength.  Should I be looking for eyes, doing local searches, counting
liberties?  What is the logical first step?   Right now, I would like a fast way
to indicate a string or group's strength on a scale of 1-10 or something.
Doesn't have to be 100% accurate, but at this point, I would like it to be fast.
Any suggestions?
