Subject: Marking of dead stones: Problem with opponent's behaviour

Modified by GreyUsagi (6. June 2006, 20:44:51)

I have a problem with an opponent who refuses to end a game in a reasonable manner. More than once he has marked all the stones on the board as dead.

Edited: As Hexkid thought it was just a misunderstanding about how to end the game. Silly me.

Flummoxed: Many people here have had their fist contact with Go a few weeks ago when Fencer introduced the game on BrainKing. As you win even with all stones marked dead, I'd try pointing to your opponent that no stones are dead in that game (even if you have to offer him F6), and then accept the correct score of "White wins". It is my understanding that winning by 30 points is exactly the same thing as winning by 0.5 point as far as the BKR and statistics go.
