Re: computer-go: AGA rules



It depends on what you consider "over".  AGA rules give
the same result as Chinese rules, so you lose points
if you play in the opponent's territory and he fills a dame.
You don't lose points thrashing while he is passing, since
he must give you a prisoner for every pass.

Hi all,

I've asked this before but I've forgotten the answer.
Under AGA rules (as will be used in the 21C cup) can you
lose points thrashing around in the opponents territory
trying to live after the game would normally be considered
over?

I don't have AGA rules as an option in my program but I
want to know whether to set it to Chinese or Japanese.

Thanks,
Mick.
