opponent and eventually could have passed for free. Had game been under
Japanese rules I would have been 'forced' to think whether reply was
needed and thus think a lot longer time for replies and possibly lost on
time because reply would have been needed probably too often.
Conclusion: Under Chinese rules and limited time player can end game
easier and faster than under Japanese rules when opponent tries silly
invasions.
Not really. If you are ahead you reply every move. You got the extra
prisoner so you can afford to reply, it does not change the fact that
you won. Only if you are behind you could gain victory because
opponent makes silly move that loses points
Like in example from tournament game where a bot makes hundreds of
useless moves. Rules that encourage that simply are not good.
