Status
Keywords: Life & Death, Go term
This term goes back to James Davies' Life and Death and clarifies what one means by alive. Divide groups into three kinds:
- those that are alive without further plays;
- those unsettled groups that may live with one more play, but can be killed by a play of the opponent;
- those groups that are simply dead.
When determining the status of a group, we always assume alternating play. This is as simple as it can be. Complications are introduced by ko.
