Only incomplete scoring methods have built-in difficulties.
Area scoring has the property that life and death can be settled by
explicitely removing all dead stones. What remains on the board at the end
of the game is alive (possibly in seki), which makes scoring trivial.
There are other logical scoring methods that don't require to capture all
dead stones, but they are much more complex.
