Calculation of Go win/loss

Chinese calculations for winning and losing in Go:

1. The rules for posting 3 and 3/4 discs:

(1) The first step is to remove the dead discs.

(2) The second step is to count and record the number of points that one side has won (generally, the number of points won is measured in whole tens).

(3) In the third step, subtract 3 and 3/4 discs if you are counting black discs, and add 3 and 3/4 discs if you are counting white discs.

(4) In the fourth move, the result is compared to 180 and 1/2 (half of the 361 points on the board), and if it exceeds that number, the game is won, otherwise it is lost. Black wins by 184.25 discs, while white wins by 176.75 discs. In common parlance, white wins with 177 discs and black wins with 184.5 discs.

2. Letting first and giving up discs: letting first does not post an eyepiece, and giving up a disc requires posting half of the number of discs given up (as if the player being let in had received a single official in advance).

Weiqi rules:

(1) If one player does not abstain, and the other player makes two moves in a row, the player who makes two moves in a row is awarded a loss.

(2) When a piece is played and then taken from the board and played elsewhere. The player is penalized by having the piece returned to its original position and is warned once. If the piece was actually dropped, it is allowed to be picked up and used for any purpose.

(3) If, in the middle of a game, it is discovered that a piece played earlier has been moved, the player may, with the agreement of the players, rule that the moved piece be moved back to its original position, or rule that the move is valid.

In case of disagreement between the players, the matter shall be referred to the referee immediately. The referee may, according to the degree of influence of the moved disc on the progress of the game, rule that: the disc should be moved back to its original position; the disc is valid; a draw should be made; the game should be replayed; or, in the case of intentional removal of a disc, the player who removed the disc should be sentenced as a loser.

(4) If the game is disorganized due to an irresistible cause, the game shall be resumed after both players have reviewed the game and confirmed the disorganization. If both players do not have the ability to review the game, a draw will be awarded or the game will be replayed.

If a player's game has been disrupted unintentionally, the game may be resumed. If the game cannot be resumed, then the player who has disrupted the game is awarded a loss. If a player intentionally disrupts the game, the game is lost.
