This includes mistakes for TT scoring and Chinese scoring and
confuses scoring and counting. Thereby in the rest of your article
many followup mistakes occur but it is pointless to comment on them
as long as already your fundamental understanding is wrong. Please
read TT rules, Chinese rules, and 
http://home.snafu.de/jasiek/endrules.html
and maybe other pages from
http://home.snafu.de/jasiek/rules.html
and pay particular attention to the difference of scoring and
counting.
