Is it beautiful enough that you finish your games that way?

Personally, I like John's simple but elegant solution, but it's kind
of ugly for impatient human onlookers and especially for humans who
play bots.

When I put my player out on the server for games against humans, I
want to accomodate them as much as I can.  I don't want to impose too
much on their time to finish a game that even my bot knows is over.

When I figure out how to make my bot pass earlier, it will be a
beautiful thing to me.  :-)

   How about:
   1. When B, W both pass, all blocks are assumed alive and we are done.
