To put it in chess terms - it's like playing stockfish, but with a rule that says in a theoretical drawn endgame, you lose if the king does not end on a corner square. And not announcing this rule before the match starts.



I'm think that's incorrect.

>And not announcing this rule before the match starts.

I don't think there's a possible way to more clearly announce a rule than declaring it in a parameter -> friendlyPassOk=true.

>It's like playing stockfish, but with a rule that says in a theoretical drawn endgame, you lose if the king does not end on a corner square

The king-in-the-corner rule, is that a rule normal humans play chess with? If so, I would expect Stockfish to handle it. In this case they're just setting the Go rules to match the ruleset that lots of humans play with.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
