Is the issue simply the CGOS behavior, the wrong bot losing on forfeit or
something like that? If so it does need to be fixed.
I think Folkert simply asked a honest question whether his program is
required to implement superko to play on CGOS, and did not mean to
ask for any changes in CGOS itself, just check the current situation.
To reiterate, the answer to Folkert's question is: yes, you need to
Is it really necessary?
I mean, I understand Folkert's question very minimally, strictly as you
state it in that paragraph.
More specifically, if the programmer is OK with losing a game (likely by
time-out) when he tries an illegal move, and just ensures that the bot
is again available for the next round, is that a problem?
