That would do the trick.
It's a bit more subtle than that (e.g., think of mid-game passes, handicap stones, points in seki, game vs confirmation phase, etc.), but roughly speaking, yes, that does the trick. It is certainly feasible to 'translate' and area score to a territory score (in fact that is what I do in my program). However, when talking about the rules it just seems so much more natural to just describe the normal procedure for territory scoring :-) Erik _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
