Re: computer-go: Example of Good Core Rules of Play for CG

When an entrant to a CG event asks what the rules are, s/he does not
want to have to read, and interpret, all this stuff.  S/he wants
something short and easily understood, e.g.

    Chinese scoring
    no suicide
    6.5 komi
    Standard ko
    See URL........ for further details.

Experience suggests that s/he will never actually read the URL.  Indeed,
we'll be lucky if s/he remembers the four short lines.
