SGF(2) has a place to specify the ruleset, according to http://www.red-bean.com/sgf/properties.html:
*Property:* RU*Propvalue:* simpletext <http://www.red-bean.com/sgf/sgf4.html#simpletext>*Propertytype:* game-info*Function:* Provides the used rules for this game. Because there are many different rules, SGF requires mandatory names only for a small set of well known rule sets. Note: it's beyond the scope of this specification to give an exact specification of these rule sets. Mandatory names for Go (GM[1]): "AGA" (rules of the American Go Association) "GOE" (the Ing rules of Goe) "Japanese" (the Nihon-Kiin rule set) "NZ" (New Zealand rules) How can we specify the Chinese rules normally used in computer Go? They're *almost* equivalent to AGA rules, but AGA uses situational superko while Chinese uses positional superko. The difference would only come up extremely rarely, potentially making for a nasty bug. For those who don't know these terms: http://senseis.xmp.net/?Superko -- Peter Drake https://sites.google.com/a/lclark.edu/drake/
