IIRC, in KGS, the players themselves mark the dead groups, and if they disagree
I suppose there
is a conflict-resolution procedure. ( haven't come across that in actual play )
When I started on KGS, I was unaware that it was the players' responsibility to
mark dead groups -
my opponent was marking the groups, but I didn't know this.
Once dead groups are marked, KGS then appears to be able to determine what is
territory
and what is dame. I'd have to check some sample games to say whether it can
determine that a
space should be filled in to prevent a capture when the dame are filled - can't
speak to that.

Different scoring requires my strategy to be adapted. Different counting
leads to different kinds of defensive methods against accidental or

So how do you ensure that in real games? Do you not use Japanese fill-in
counting because for that you would need to make the game longer again
by filling the dame?

You don't have to (I guess you use some verbal Japanese rules), but how
do you count?
