QARTS
   

Rob van Zeijst in one of his [ext] columns outlines his "QARTS" system, in which he quantifies thickness and aji. QARTS is for Quantitative Analysis of Relative Territory and Strength.

The idea is to assign -20 points to a weak group without eyes, and 0 or -10 points for a weakish group with room for one eye (depending on whether or not the group is capable of making some territory in addition to the required second eye). Together with counting established territory in the usual fashion, this is a tool for judging reinforcements or the relative merits of an invasion versus a reducing move.


A search in Google turns out two revelant pages:

Rob is currently writing some more about the QARTS concepts and their application.
