I believe this to be true for "normal" go, with a suitably large board. The various ko rules seem to make a difference to pathologically small board sizes, and other anomalies. Those may be an interesting field of study, but seem not to be awfully relevant to the game of go, as we know it. Just my humble opinion, of course. I am sure to be corrected by more knowing people on this list if I am wrong. Maybe even if I am not... -H -- Heikki Levanto "In Murphy We Turst" heikki (at) lsd (dot) dk _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
