I've noticed some of the stronger programs can't read out things like seki all the time. Which is reasonable, because if they were perfect at reading they would be 9p+ and this bulletin board wouldn't be needed any more. But this is common enough to make human intervention in scoring necessary - you can't play out a seki!
Sure you can; if there is a dispute regarding a seki (one side claiming the other is dead) you play it out. Now the proper playout is: pass; pass. in which case, since neither side has made any non-pass moves, the position is (correctly) scored as-is. And if one side does make moves, then it's their loss:) regards, -John _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
