You wrote: "In the round 8 game between FirstGoBot and break13, this position appeared. White has just captured two stones, and Black (break13) tried to recapture one stone. This ought to be allowed, no superko repetition is involved. However break13 was not allowed to recapture, and eventually timed out. Readers of this page can confirm that something has gone wrong by clicking on the above game link, using CGoban to look at the game, and going to the final position. It is not then possible to play a stone at L11, though it ought to be. This is very odd, and I have reported it to wms." However, there is nothing strange going on here. It's a simple case of sending 2, returning 1, which is prohibited by Positional Superko. Recapturing would repeat the position of 3 plies before (with white to move instead of black). regards, -John _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
