Go bug and fixes

#1

Japanese counting komi should be 6.5....Japanese rules there can be a draw only if there is a triple ko which is extremely rare. 1 in 10,000 maybe.....In Chinese rules komi is 7.5 and a repeated position is actually illegal. So in my game my opponent self ataried 2 stones and I recaptured and he recaptured my one stone ....in Chinese rules this move by my opponent is illegal. In Japanese rules the game continues normally.

Another Issue is that when playing on mobile it would be nice to send moves using double click to avoid misclicks.

Thank you for the feedback, we currently only support Chinese rules for GO on PlayStrategy. Could you link the game your are referencing and the move number so that we can investigate the illegal move please.

In your preferences, you can turn "move confirmation" to "always" which can help avoid single click mistakes.

Look at the moves close to O13
Start looking at them near move 200 until the end.
Do not repeat the position.
The BOT plays very stupid.
The BOT has to defend some KO but does not do it.

Hi @woll the bot isn't perfect and can't always understand the ramifications of future moves on fragile groups.
Ideally we would have a dedicated Go engine, so I'm unsure if we will invest time to improve the Greedy bots for Go.

Could we ban Greedy bots from playing Go?
