  Since everyone else is taking a stab at this, here is mine:

  1. When B, W both pass, request final_status_list
  2. If the results are same, we are done
  3. If not, start requesting gen_move_cleanup (if it is not
  implemented, assume a pass move)
  4. After two more passes, all blocks are assumed alive.



YES.  This is, in my opinion, exactly how it should be.




i couldn't agree more. i always thought this is what was being proposed 
all along, and couldn't understand what problems people see...

how is this different from wms protocol by the way?



and as to Don's previous mail - is undo sent to one of the programs on 
disagreement after 2 passes? if so how is it that the undo command does 
not have to be implemented, according to kgsgtp doc?



oh, and as to 'assume everything is alive after 2 passes' - i would really 
like to be able to have the same bot play against humans, and against 
other bots... and humans are _not_ thrilled with a bot believing in kill all 
before passing approach...
