[computer-go] Re: Group escape

[Yamato]

In a personal email, there was a point that I should give an example.
Therefore, I post it here.

.........|  .........|
....OOO..|  ....OOO..|
.........|  .....X...|
.........|  .........|
.........|  .........|
.........|  .........|
...X*....|  ...X*....|
..X.OXXXX|  ..X.OXXXX|
..X.OXOOO|  ..X.OXOOO|
....OOO..|  ....OOO..|
---------+  ---------+

In both figures, the lower right white group can escape by playing *.
GNU Go correctly answer in the left position, but in the right one,
it says the white group is dead. This is because one added black stone
reduces the escape value of * to 0.
No matter how the eyeshape analysis is excellent, I think it's not
significant when wrong in such a position.
