Hi,

I tested Crazy Stone's Japanese scoring over this database of games. I wonder about one of them (attached), 003_006.sgf. Shouldn't L17 be dame >?

I am puzzled. L17 is adjacent to two white stones, but these white stones are dead. L17 is black territory.

BTW, I also tested my Japanese scoring in games against GNU. I found a few bugs of GNU in this process. I attached one such game. In the final position I get (with GNU 3.8):
final_status_list dame
= T19 T17 K15 O14 B12 N12 S12 T11 T8 S7 S5 P1


[ A MIME application / octet-stream part was included here. ]



Crazy Stone is probably wrong, too, because there are some complicated things happening around S6. I would say S6 is dame, not S7 and S5. B12 and P1 look like really weird dame, though. So do K15 and N12. The right-side of the board is complicated, but the rest should be obvious for GNU. Unless I am mistaken...

Something must be wrong. There are problems in this position. But S6 is not one of them, it is very clearly black territory. Maybe you have the wrong SGF files, or they have been rotated?

I can send more, if GNU people are interested.

Yup.  I spent years developing the capability to score endgames
at the point where humans typically leave them.  Getting within
a few points of correct 95% of the time is achievable.  The other
5% you will either make whopper mistakes or never terminate.

This is now pretty old, but I don't know of any more recent or better
results. http://www.andromeda.com/people/ddyer/go/scoring-games.html

On that testset GNU Go 3.8 finds the correct score in 85.6% of the
cases, is off by at most one point in 98.2% and within 3 points in
99.4%.

And well, it can be argued whether humans in general (as opposed to go
pros) consider the game finished and ready to be scored with open kos
remaining.
