Absolute Time
Keywords: Rules
In a game with absolute time (also called sudden death), each player is alotted a certain amount of time. When that time runs out, the player loses. The advantage of this system is, that the game is limited to a fixed time. The inconvenience is, that it animates some people to go on playing junk moves instead of resigning in the hope that their opponent runs out of time. (See Stubborn Play and Continue While Dozens Of Points Behind) This system isn't very popular on the Internet go servers. This is a copy of the living page "Absolute Time" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
