Re: [computer-go] KGS game-end protocol

[drd@xxxxxxx]

When Nick says, "responds appropriately" he means that the program actually 
will stop passing  until it has cleaned up the opponents stones.   But a 
legal and still correct response is to act as though a normal "genmove" was 
sent.    It's correct, just not desirable.

But my program does the former.  If sent a kgs-genmove_cleanup my program will 
stop passing until there are no more legal non-suicidal or eye filling moves 
on the board.   

And as Gunnar notes,  GNU Go also makes the desirable response.   I suspect 
that most of the other contestants are doing this the desirable way.
