As far as I know, pseudo-liberties are only used for detecting a capture or detecting atari. If this method you suggest has some value beyond that, then I'm interested to learn more about it. But the
I have a nice mathematical puzzle for you. Fix some k, say, 81. What is the smallest range N for which you can pick k N-bit numbers, n_1,n_2,...n_k with the following properties: {2*n_i, 3*n_i, 4*n_i} is disjoint from {n_a + n_b, n_a + n_b + n_c, n_a + 2n_b, n_a + n_b + n_c + n_d, n_a + n_b + 2n_c, n_a + 3n_b, 2n_a + 2n_b} (where a,b,c,d are different) regards, -John _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
