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.
In an unresolved semeai it is not clear who is the one trying to capture
and should thus get the first move.
It is fairly clear to me. You ask the players for the status of each
group (alive, or dead. Alive in seki is a special case of alive). Where
they agree, you accept what they say. Where they differ, you have to
find out "whether it can be captured", with its would-be capturer moving
first.
Of course, if the players do the finding out themselves, there is a
danger that you end up with two adjacent dead groups. If this happens,
I am not sure what to do next.
One more vote for simple rules. :)
Agreed.
