I was under the impression that no one got any points in a seki. It makes sense since both players are permitted to move but neither one has the guts. Scott Hankerson P.S. Maybe next time I'll consult my book before posting

This example is from the Intenational Handbook and Dictionary which
states that the four points, 'a', 'b', 'c', and 'd' are left vacant
during counting and that black cannot count 'c' or 'd' as territory
since the two black groups are not independently alive. Sounds to
me like Scott is right that there is no countable territory inside
of a seki. Any counter examples?
