torazu sanmoku
  Difficulty: Expert   Keywords: Rules, Go term

Torazu sanmoku = Three points without capturing.

The traditional Japanese ruling was that this position could be scored as 3 points for Black at the end, without having to capture the marked White stones. The Japanese '89 rules make this seki if it is left on the board at the end of the game.

Mathematical Go defends the 3-point ruling in terms of combinatorial game theory.
