Talk:Go/Lesson 1: Step-By-Step Guide to Playing

I'm a bit confused. I knew I had writen this section before but it did not show that I had. I thought perhaps I had forgonton to save it but I just followed a link from my contribitions page to what I thought was this page. it had every thing I wrote but was not this page. being wholly confused Just copied and pasted the text. here is a link to the page which is not this one http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Go/step-By-Step_Guid_to_Playing. After writing all of this I think I have found the problem I misspelled the title... Ulfrinn 02:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)ulfrinn

I'v added a link to the previous page but not the the next page because of the problem with the next page being coverd on this page. I have a sugestion that may clear this up. we could use this page as a brief walk through and then us the other pages that cover the same things to do a more indepth walk through.Ulfrinn 17:15, 28 March 2006 (UTC)ulfrinn

Seems to me the counting diagrams are all wrong. All white stones at the bottom side have no more than one eye thus are dead. SO, after counting all of them are counted as prisoners (assuming Japanese rules) and the territory is counted as black. Rami 08:41, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Bad graphic in "Counting Points" section
This is a somewhat cheesy comment for not offering an alternative right away. Sorry. Anyhow: The graph in the "Counting points" section is rather confusing. All of the white stones below row 6 are dead as they stand, are they not? And g6 an h6 are caught only depending on the state of the game in the part of the board that is not depicted. Not even N6 needs to be truly neutral.

Added later: Just in case. The graphics I am refering to is here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gomarkedstones.png

On this page: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Go/Lesson_1:_Step-By-Step_Guide_to_Playing

The caption being: circles mark neutral territory, squares mark dead stones and x mark territory
