[gnugo-devel] Gnugo score-bug

[Trevor Morris]

Hans-Jürgen:

I've copied this to the gnugo development group, as I'm not
familiar with the version 2.6 scoring mode.  Perhaps someone
there can address your question better.

The Microsoft Windows version should to be functionally
identical to the version built on any other platform.

I'm glad that you enjoy the program, and we definitely appreciate
the suggestions and bug reports.

>black territory 
>white territory 
>dead white stones 
>dead black stones 
>black seems to win with 1.5 points

>I hope you can re-introduce the former scoring-system of Gnugo 2.6

>The game was played with 5.5 komi, but Gnugo says: 
>Black seems to win by 22.0 points. 
>How can that be ?

>Best luck for your Gnugo-project!
