no seki alowed?

hi, i might be wrong but, in: GO13 game #9728 i have a seki situation i cannot solve. i think i won the game, what anybody else sais?

i can wait an answer! thank you!

De fapt scorul e aproape corect, albul are in realitate un punct mai putin. Pozitia din stanga sus e seki, in seki nu se numara puncte, punctul c13 nu constituie teritoriu alb.

Negrul a pierdut partida.

Could you say that in English, Crelo? Perhaps I can learn from it too...

I'll make the translation for you:

Practically the score is almost corect. In fact, white has one point less. Upper-left position is a seki, but in seki points doesn't count. C13 point isn't white teritory.

Black lost the game.

Tiberiu.

Unfortunately, with the scoring method here (and elsewhere on the Internet) eyes in seki have to count, I think. So we're not playing with pure Japanese ruels, and we should plan accordingly.

The rules page says that Japanese rules are used here, so we should assume this is the case unless there's a good reason to think otherwise.

Richard said in a previous thread that he would enhance the scoring system so that points could be marked as being in seki (so that they would show in red like other neutral points). I don't know if he has done this yet, but it seems clear that points in seki are not supposed to be counted, regardless of any current deficiencies in the scoring software. In the unlikely case that it's impossible to score a game so that the correct player wins, the loser should resign.

Sounds good to me, provided we're all playing under the same rules.

Or we can send an email to Richard asking to change the score if our opponent doesn't agree with the result.
