Or: at least attempt to pass the Turing-test :-)

WRT the other issue that David Fotland mentioned: the time-limits on
the scoring phase. IMHO the game has ended when both players have
passed, so there are no timing-restriction on the after-play.

I also think that the afterplay should *not* be part of the game record,
just it's result: the territory and the score. In that perspective, I
don't see "messing up the board with ugly-looking moves" as a real
problem: it won't show up in the books!
