Thanks everyone for the responses. My go skills are somewhat
limited (only 6-7kyu on KGS) so hopefully I am not belaboring the
obvious.
I have a few followup questions-
1) What mathematically is a seki? I know this is a local draw but
can it be determined statically at some point in all cases using
some sort definition without placing stones on the board (i.e.
searching). I only know of three cases here- the 1 eye each case
with one shared liberty. two shared liberties and the half eye
situation.
How about "a situation where there are neutral points yet the best
move is to pass"?
3) GTP and time management and scoring after two passes. Are these
issues discussed anywhere? Do libraries like Orego and Libgo
contain code that already does this which can be used as a reference?
Yes, Orego contains some code for this. If you plan to work in Java,
the Orego code is intended to be relatively easy to read, so you
might start there.
BTW, Orego has moved to:
