Proposal for a Simple Ruleset

If a bot were to judge the result without human intervention then chinese rules make the most sense. That way there is no need to “trust” the bot as you can play umpteen redundant defense moves to make sure your territory is scored as yours. Losing games because a superhuman bot can play perfectly is not interesting nor fun to us casual kyus. The mobile app GoQuest implements this and it works well.

No, two passes don’t mean neither player wants to play. There are cases where the first player passes because of a (momentary) ko ban, the second player passes (for whatever reason), and then the first player wants to recapture the ko.
