Re: computer-go: Computer Go Tournament Program

What do you think of this, based on John Tromp's idea:

 . After a player makes a pass, it is the other players turn to move.

 . A pass move must include a players notion of the score.  A valid
   score to report is "undefined." 

 . The game is over when 2 passes in a row occur with the same
   agreed upon score OR no legal moves are available for one side.  

 . There is no limit to the number of pass moves a player may make.

 . If a game ends without an agreed upon score,  an arbiter scores
   according to a strict Tromp/Taylor end of game scoring.


Feel free to improve this, but did I  capture your suggestion properly
here?

   Before implementing some agreement phases their maximal
   number during one game and the exact meaning of passes
   should be specified. The maximal number could be one or
   infinity, depending on the wording.
