[Spoon-business] Picky ambiguity that will never show up |
[[ This is a much less important flaw in Go, but is still an ambiguity in the rules - the Ko rule is underspecified. ]] I propose: __Better safe than confused__ {{ In Rule 1639 [[Go]], section E [[Ko]], change the paragraph {{ Two states of the board are considered "equivalent" if the only difference between them is that, at any number of given positions, a stone belonging to one player is replaced by a stone belonging to another, and those two players are allied. Only the positions of pieces on the board, not the state of alliances, are considered }} to {{ Two states of the board are considered "equivalent" if the only difference between them is that, at any number of given positions, a stone belonging to one player is replaced by a stone belonging to another, and those two players are allied in either state. Only the positions of pieces on the board are considered when checking for equivalence; differences in the state of alliances or in who made the most recent move are not considered. }} }} -- Rob Speer _______________________________________________ spoon-business mailing list spoon-business@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-business
