If you want an example of Chinese counting
~4:52:10 in the video they count the game.
- Remove dead stones
- Count one colour - rearranging territories making sure not to nudge the boundaries. However you can add or take away any number of stones since 1 empty point = 1 stone = 1 point in area scoring
- It’s usually easy to count in 10s: bottom area is 20, left is 10, right is 20, top middle is 10, top left is 10.
- Put aside some stones to help keep track of the 10s from this phase, like 7 stones to represent the 70 points.
- Now just count the white stones in 10s again: 10 tens and a 7, is 107 stones.
- Add it all together and komi and compare to Black’s score. White is 70+107+7.5 komi = 184.5. If white has 177 on the board, then Black has 361-177=184, so white wins by half a point.
AlphaGo did in fact win by half a point as White in game 1.
