Case contract

Input [rank_a, rank_b] as Nk (1..30) or Nd (1..9); 1k and 1d are one rank apart. Equal ranks -> [rank_a, 0, 65]; one rank apart -> [weaker, 0, 5]; otherwise [weaker, min(diff, 9), 5]. Invalid ranks -> "invalid". The first element is the player taking black.

Why this case matters

Go servers and scoring tools compute this value automatically; a wrong answer changes a game result.

One recorded failure
