Sorry if this is an innapropriate message for this
list, I am new here (and new to Go as well). I illustrate with a 5x5 board where
W=white, B=black, and _=vacant intersection):
BBBBB
BBB_B
BBBBB
BBBBB
BBBBB
If it is white's turn to play and they play in the
one remaining open intersection, do they remove all of the black stones from the
board? It would, after all, remove the last remaining liberty of that group. I
realize that this probably never happpens in human play, but I am working on a
computer Go player and, when I play it against itself, the game never seems to
end because it keeps encountering the aforementioned situation
and basically clearing the board, with this play, and starting
over.
Thanks,
Todd
