I don't see how I can avoid passing moves. You must pass in seki situations and you must pass to avoid filling eyes. I can probably identify some positions where it can be seen that passing is NOT the only best move but I sense this would not reduce the number of obtainable legal positions. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
