Japanese Counting Example
Here is an example, step by step, of Japanese Counting.
This Example Game has just ended with two passes.
1: Note the territoriesThe players agree that:
2: Remove the dead stones.The dead stones are removed and placed with any prisoners captured during the game. The points where the dead stones were are marked with circles in the diagram.
3: Fill prisoners inThe prisoners are now filled into the territories of the same color. Generally, the smaller areas are filled in. The filled in prisoners are marked with a circle.
4: Rearrange territoriesThree of Black's stones are moved from the top of his area to the bottom. This leaves a nice rectangular area, three by five, and a single point. The moved stones are shown with squares where they used to be, and circles where they were moved to.
Two of White's stones are moved similarly. 5: Add the territoriesBlack has two areas now: 3 x 5 = 15 points, and a single point. Black's score is 16. White has one area: 3 x 3 = 9 points. White's score is 9. Black is the winner. He won by 16 - 9 = 7 points. This is a copy of the living page "Japanese Counting Example" at Sensei's Library.
