# Database of connection patterns.
#
#  ? - don't care
#  . - empty
#  X - opposite color of O
#  O - color of dragon looking for connection
#  x - X or empty
#  o - O or empty
#  * - cutting point in the O formation, an X move here must be
#      tactically safe
#  ! - inhibit connection, eye space points for O are turned marginal
#
###################################
#
# Classification
#
# The connection database contains patterns of three different classes,
# which also are matched separately.
#
#  B - Indicate cutting points and inhibit connections.
#  C - Amalgamate worms into dragons.
#
# Additionally there are a few acceptance modifiers. 
#
#  s - Accept even if the pattern includes tactically unsafe strings
#
###################################
#
# Organisation
#
# The connection database is organized into a number of different
# categories and ordered so that more specific patterns are matched
# before more general ones, since evaluating the constraints of the
# latter usually is expensive.
#
#  EB    - Edge B patterns
#  CB    - Center B patterns
#  EC    - Edge C patterns
#  CC    - Center C patterns
#  Lunch - patterns that invalidate lunches, matched with I patterns

#
# Note about patterns CC501, CC502, CC502b, CC511
#
# In theory, these patterns go against the connection policy that the
# involved strings must be tactically stable (not capturable) and
# consequently, they should not be needed at all. In practice though,
# problems arise with the optics/owl analysis when such strings aren't
# amalgamated. An example (see owl:50)
#
# +------
# |...X.O
# |XXX.XO
# |.OOXXO
# |O.OOOO
#
# In the absence of the mentioned patterns, the topmost X stone would
# NOT be amalgamated with the others, because all attempts at
# defending these kosumi connections result in a tactical capture of
# the whole string, thus a successful cut.
#
# As a consequence, the owl code would be run against separate targets,
# and in the above case, it would even fail to find a way to kill the
# topmost X stone (the lack of context is then responsible for the 
# optics/owl code not being able to return vital points)
