If you want the notion of "position" to encode everything needed to determine legality of future plays, then in the case of superko, you need the entire set of previous board configurations, which to me is rather absurd. Instead you should call that "situation". That's how we distinguish the two flavors of superko; positional vs situational... regards, -John _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
