Territory Scoring

    Keywords: Rules

Chinese: 数目法 shǔmů​​fǎ​

Territory scoring is used in Japanese and Korean rules, as well as in many other countries in the world and on many on-line go servers. At the end of play dead stones are removed from the board and added to the prisoners. Each player's score is the sum of her territory plus prisoners.

Traditionally, empty points in seki are not counted as territory, but some territory rule sets, such as Lasker-Maas rules and Spight rules, do count them.

To determine the score with territory scoring Japanese Counting is used.
