Scoring problem
  • ghardh at 2003-04-20

    Can somebody help to determine the correct scoring for game42619?

    Is m5..m7 to be seen as black territory, and m6 as prisoner?

    In that case black wins.

    Otherwise black needs to play 2 stones to capture the white stone. In that case white wins.

    Is it possible for white to continue with passing?

    Your second link doesn't work either. Game 42619 is a game of Amazons, so I'll assume you meant game 36139, which fits your description.

    The three points are Black's territory, and the white stone is a prisoner. This is so because Black could capture the stone. He isn't required to play out the moves to capture it because (as you noticed) that would change the score. So Black wins by 1.5.
