T. Nakamura and E. Berlekamp: “Analysis of composite corridors,” pp. 213–229 in Computers and games: Third international conference (Edmonton, AB, 25–27 July 2002). Edited by J. Schaeffer, M. Müller, and Y. Björnsson. Lecture Notes in Computer Science 2883. Springer (Berlin), 2003. incollection

This work began as an attempt to find and catalog the mean values and temperatures of a well-defined set of relatively simple common Go positions, extending a similar but smaller catalog in Table E.10, Appendix E of the book Mathematical Go [Berlekamp and Wolf 1994].

The major surprises of our present work include the following

A position of chilled value *2 (previously unknown in Mathematical Go), shown at the end of Sect. 3.1.
A surprisingly “warm” position, whose temperature is routinely underestimated even by very strong Go players, shown in Sect. 4.
More insights into decompositions.

It is hoped that these results may someday provide the basis for further new insights and generalizations.
