are there any stones dead in this game? My opponent put an x on all mine and I declined. Since a stone (or a stone group) is called a dead group if it cannot be saved from capturing by the opponent, shouldn't all squares be left alone with no 'x's' anywhere? I'm so new at this game....
Groucho: All white stones on the board are alive and should not be marked dead at game end.
The final score for that game (as BrainKing calculates it and if I didn't make a mistake) should be: Black: 0 (territory) - 68 (prisoners) - 3.5 (komi) = -71.5 points White: 18 (territory) - 2 (prisoners) = 16 points
