Scoring

There are two ways to count the score at the end of the game:

• Area Scoring: Count occupied points as well as empty points completely surrounded by a player.
• Territory Scoring: Count empty points completely surrounded by a player, plus captured stones.

The two methods of scoring yield the same result if both players play the same number of stones. SmartGo uses the official rules of the AGA (American Go Association) to adjust for pass moves and handicap to ensure that the two scoring methods lead to the same result.
