Scoring bug

Hi thanks for a great go server. I think there is a bug in the scoring, see image.

Usually it’s better to contact the bot administrator, they get to look at it promptly.

Nah, this is the fault of our scoring algorithm unfortunately, not the bot itself. Weird things can happen when there are unfinished borders sometimes, or on huge kills with lots of liberties.

The game was not ranked, so hopefully no harm done, and I will file the example for future scoring improvements.

Thanks for letting us know!

You can’t fix every possible complicated position. Scoring should be completely replaced with Kata Go based system.

Yes, indeed that is something we are all hoping for in the future, but it might still take a while.
