stops

    Keywords: EndGame

Stops of a game in CGT: the results of playing the game when both players stop playing at the stage where there game becomes a number. Thus, there is a left stop of G, decided by best play when Left starts, and a right stop, decided by best play when Right starts. These are the numbers provided by minimax applied to the left resp. right side of G.

In go terms, assume a board position is finished with when it is pure territory for Black and White. That leaves out who then has sente (important both for go and for CGT). It also leaves out ko threats, which isn't an aspect of go directly modelled in CGT.
