[computer-go] Positions illustrative of computer stupidity ?

[Chrilly]

Attached is another simple problem. A tactical-solver might work as this. It 
checks all strings. If the number of liberties is below a thresold (e.g. 3) 
it defines the string as a prey and tries to kill the string. Then the 
solver takes the next prey, tries to kill it.
For this tactical solver the white stones are save. Each prey can escape 
individually, but due to the double-atari one of them is dead. This is a 
trivial example, but there are more difficult ones which are much harder to 
solve. Even the best strong programms like Handtalk are very vulnerable to 
double attacks (there are other ones like Many Faces which do not suffer 
from this problem)..
