Mathematical Go: Revisited

In this paper we will look at the book Mathematical Go by Elwyn Berlekamp and David Wolfe \cite{MG}, and argue that the definitions and theories that they use are not the correct ones. We will argue that the new theory of scoring play games as developed by Fraser Stewart \cite{FS, FSP} is the proper way to analyse the game because it gives us the actual mathematical foundation for developing further theories for Go. We will also show that the reason the methods in the book Mathematical Go appear to work is coincidentally because the game Go has some very nice properties and show that these theories would not work for other scoring play games.
