Eye Definition Discussion Too

Skelley: Here I'd like to propose a definition of an eye. It's experimental. I just put it here to brainstorm on it so please don't bust my stones if I err somewhere. I did not find this approach to the eye definition on this Wiki. If it is there anyway please point it out to me. Please don't forget that this is theoretical. In some cases, by my definition, a group of inside liberties is not an eye even while we would in practice call it an eye, because it can be made into an eye with one move or several alternating moves. I am just trying to propose a sound definition. Definition:An eye is one or more adjacent intersections, completely surrounded by stones of one colour, which the opponent cannot all occupy before all the remaining liberties of the surrounding stones are occupied. Examples:
white will have to occupy all the x's before he can occupy the inside liberty.
white will have to occupy all the x's before he can occupy all the remaining liberties marked o.
By my definition this is not an eye. White can theoretically occupy all the inside liberties marked o before occupying the outside liberties.
The liberties marked o form an eye, white can't occupy all o's before occupying all remaining liberties. The liberties marked x do not form an eye, white can occupy all the liberties marked x before occupying the remaining liberties.
The liberty marked o forms an eye, black can't occupy all o's before occupying all remaining liberties.
The liberty marked o is not an eye, black can occupy a or b and then o. Now for some more fun!
The liberties marked o form an eye. The liberties marked x are surrounded by stones of one colour but they do not form an eye as white can occupy all those liberties before occupying the remaining liberties. Definition:A false eye is one or more adjacent intersections, completely surrounded by a group of stones of one colour, which the opponent can all occupy before all the remaining liberties of the surrounding stones are occupied. I'm tired now, I'll continue later when I've found a useful purpose for this definition. Up untill now I've found it to be quite useless myself, maybe you guys can help me on that ;) --Skelley See also: Path: EyesCollection · Prev: EyeDefinitionDiscussion · Next: EyeShapeEyeSpaceDiscussion This is a copy of the living page "Eye Definition Discussion Too" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
