Oh, I did not know that. That would simplify my job a lot. It seems a lot of people still don't fill dame, though. I looked at some recent games on gobase, and even pros don't do it apparently: http://gobase.org/replay/?gam=/games/japan/titles/honinbo/65/game-02.sgf&off=null KGS players usually don't do it either. > > And, as a terinology, we never call S6 dame.
