[computer-go] super-ko

[Don Dailey]

About once every month or two someone sends me a private email that they
have found a ko bug in CGOS and they point me to a game they lost due to
superko.  

So far it's never happened that there was bug - they just didn't
understand positional superko. 

But as you say,  it does happen just enough to be annoying if you don't
implement it correctly in your program.
