Let's look at a case where there are dead stones on the board. | |
| Dia. 1. The players have declared the game over. | ||
 |
||
| (Dia. 1. White has captured no Black stone. Black has captured no White stones.) |
||
| There are no reinforcements necessary or dame points, so the players can proceed to removing dead stones. There are four dead White stones inside Black's territory, so they are removed from the board. |
||
| Dia. 2. The four White stones taken from the board are placed inside White's territory. Next, the players rearrange the territories. |
||
 |
||
| Dia. 2 | ||
| Dia. 3. Without moving the borders, the territories are rearranged into easy-to-count units of 10 or 15. |
||
 |
||
| Dia. 3 | ||
| The result: Black has 26 points, White has 15 points, so Black is ahead by 11 points on the board. |
||
| If Black is one rank weaker than White, the result is: Black wins by 11 points. If the game is on even: Black wins by 5.5 points. |
