there's a nice rule of thumb that says that you should only play moves whose outcome results in your opponent playing *what you think is the best move*. there's simply nothing more irritating than someone attempting an unreasonable invasion at the end of a game in order to try to turn a loss into a win. either they're assuming that you're unable to respond correctly, or hoping that you'll run out of time. exactly when this is the case -- that all reasonable people would stop playing -- is of course determined by the relative skill level of the players involved. many games in practice are resigned far before yose. many computer programs can determine when unambiguous end of game has occurred (i.e. when point-making yose has finished), and it would be most friendly of them at that point to discontinue playing. s. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
