Heikki, I don't need gnugo to enumerate all valid moves. I've already got
that covered. Though one thing I missed was what you call a super-ko. I
learned of it through experience and actually wanted to ask some go
authority. So to make sure I understand it right, the go rule sais that no
position may be repeated, right?

You may be right. I'll think about it!


Still I have to ask this:

What happeds if GnuGo is asked to score a position where human players don't
see the end? Is the resulting score a decent one? For if it is, then maybe I
can use it.

To be honest, I'm skeptical too. I just wish to run an experiment, that's
all.


Thanx
