Or you can rephrase this to say that your neural players should play Go
using the Tromp-Taylor ruleset. Scoring is pretty much trivial to
implement in these rules, and they approximate the traditional chinese
counting relatively well - all my bots always played on KGS using just
the Tromp-Taylor counting and discrepances are rare.
