The Japanese 1989 Rules are undefined for each final
scoring position! Details are available on my webpages
and in google's archives of rec.games.go threads. Since
this is not a rules mailing list, I do not explain every
detail here again. It shall suffice to recall that "cannot"
in "if they cannot be captured by the opponent" is undefined:
It defines neither hypothetical-sequence nor hypothetical-strategy.
Not even the starting player of a hypothetical-sequence is mentioned
in the rules.
I assume that "cannot be captured by the opponent" means that the
opponent, playing first, cannot capture it. I accept that it is unclear
whether this opponent is the actual one present in the game, or a
hypothetical competent one.
But this is a different argument. I prefer Chinese rules to Japanese.
