Re: [computer-go] Storing positions
I think the ASCII board presentation would be fine BUT kin addition to
it a checksum type of approach could be fine.
As nan example you could look Gnu Backgammon's position presentation.
Basically it is
a numeric presentation of a board situation and match score calculated
so that similar situation result in vastly different code.
In backgammon group it is customary to present questions about
situation so that this number is presented as well (at least if it is
available).
This makes it easy for person trying to answer the question to load
situation into backgammon server client or more usually gnu-backgammon
program for analysis.
So a combination of a numeric presentation (for computers) and
matching ASCII presentation would be fine.
