[computer-go] Dead stones in human-bot games

[Peter Drake]

Orego has been doing well in 9x9 games on KGS, using the fast time controls of this weekend's upcoming tournament. I even improved the endgame behavior a bit: Orego will pass if (a) the opponent has passed first, and (b) after removing Orego's dead stones, but not the opponent's, Orego still wins. This means that Orego won't always play until there are no legal moves.

I looked at one of the lost games (attached), and found that (if I'm reading this correctly) the human won simply by marking all of Orego's (white) stones dead. Do bots automatically defer to humans when there are disputes? Isn't there supposed to be a cleanup phase? Would it be the same in a rated game?
