Of course it is advisable to take every picture after the removal of the stones possibly captured; the program expects such stones to be removed from the goban. Otherwise, two cases are possible. First one, the player forgot to remove the stone (or did not make in time): in such a case the program detects the error and asks the user what to do next. Second, a suicide move was played (willingly or not). In such a case the program checks the rules and, if suicide is not allowed, again asks the user what to do next (otherwise it gets on). But as this particular problem does not concern the main algorithm, we have not made a final decision. There are other options on the table (for example automatic error correction/stone addition). mr.
