OK, I've reverted to the original scoring: kings only, no territories.
Also, I've written up an entry for Kingo on Sensei's Library.

Re: Kingo
Going back to the question about how common kings would be: our current game just saw move 46. Black has played 2 kings, White has played 9.

Re: Kingo
Yes, and I tried to choose a strategy specifically to play kings at the beginning.hyperpape wrote:Going back to the question about how common kings would be: our current game just saw move 46. Black has played 2 kings, White has played 9.
I think there is an opportunity to play kings in the opening and there will be lots of opportunities once we start solidifying boundaries. But unless the game is a particularly calm one, middle game fighting is too complex to play many (or any) kings.
