Poll: how would you score if you were the auto-score algorithm?

Okay, so it seems like independent scoring advice is a valuable feature, not just for bot games or for handling abandoned games. I don’t think we should give up on it so quickly.

While thinking about how @Vsotvep’s algorithm might fail I came up with this. Assume Japanese rules:

White [15k] just passed. What should Black [10k] do?
  • Play B2 or H2
  • Play B1 or H1
  • Pass
  • Resign

0 voters

If both players have passed, how do you score it?
  • Tell them to finish the game
  • Both of Black’s bottom groups are dead
  • Both of Black’s bottom groups are alive
  • One is alive, one is dead (or both are half-dead?)
  • Both players lose
