Territory Scoring

    Keywords: Rules

In territory scoring, your score is:

  • the number of empty points your stones surround, after removing any dead stones of your opponent's
  • less the number of your stones that have been killed (whether captured during the game, or remaining on the board as dead stones at the end of the game)

Territory scoring is used in Japanese rules and Korean rules, and in several on-line servers.

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