Hey Peter, To my best knowledge there is no universal standard for that but KGS's convention is probably the most popular for us.
http://www.gokgs.com/help/shorthelp.html?helpLocale=de_DE - *Japanese* - mostly used (territory and prisoners count) - *Chinese* - easiest for beginners, bots (programs running on KGS) mostly use chinese rules; area covered by stones plus surrounded territory counts, you may capture closed in stones without changing the result! - *New Zealand* - similar to Chinese, but two or more stones may play self capture. - *AGA* - American Go Accociation, uses japanese and chinese counting (don't mind - the server does the counting for you).
