Go Board Game
Have you ever wondered what a game of Go would look like if the next move were chosen democratically?
They say a camel is horse that was designed by a committee, but let's find out. It should be fun, either way.

A lot of Go players are interested in computer Go and, especially after the recent Man vs Machine match between John Tromp and Zen19, many people have questions about it.
I’m certainly no expert on computer Go, but I talked to someone who is: Martin Müller from the University of Alberta in Canada. Here’s what Martin had to say… 
Recently I interviewed Choi Jung, an up and coming player who just won the 13th Female Myeongin title in Korea. Here’s what Choi had to say... 
This is the second last article in our series about the top 20 Go players of 2010. Park Junghwan (9p) was ranked number 3 and Choi Cheolhan (9p) was ranked number 4, according to Dr Bae Taeil in early 2011. 
Go books give you lots of new ideas and help you get better at Go more quickly. Read this list for suggested Go books, tailored to your current level.

This game is a good demonstration of Yamashita’s power-oriented style of play. It is also a good demonstration of how to win a game by attacking, without actually killing any groups. 
SmartGo Kifu is a must-have app for Go players with an iPad (there is a separate app for the iPhone, named SmartGo Pro). It has everything you need for improving and studying on the go.

The three Meijin tournaments have continued in Asia and history has been made. On September 20, 2011, 7 dan amateur player Cho Insun defeated Park Jeonggeun (4p) in the Myeongin tournament and won himself a promotion to professional 1 dan! This is the first time a Korean amateur has become pro in this way, because it has only been possible to do so for a short time. Read more in the article. 
A well written essay about the the game Go.
"What Go taught me was to be content with what I have. It may not be as grand as someone else, but it is good. It is decent. Who could ask for more than something good and decent?" |
This game is from the second round of the 9th Chunlan Cup. It’s between Lee Sedol (9p) and Qiu Jun (9p).
In this game there was a huge life and death battle and an enormous group was killed. It’s really rare to see such a huge group get chased and captured in top pros’ games, so I hope you to enjoy watching it. 
...it hurts me a little to say this, but here I go: the idea that computers are bad at Go is not remotely true anymore. Computers are excellent at Go now...
The Creation of Adam (and Go...)
Spotted doing the rounds on Facebook. A clever and amusing remix of Michelangelo's 'The Creation of Adam', with a Go twist.

Thanks to Éverson Batista da Silva for posting this. 
Do you remember when the world watched IBM’s ‘Deep Blue’ supercomputer challenge grandmaster Garry Kasparov across the chess board? It was almost 15 years ago now, but it was big news at the time, shocking news for some, because the computer won. Many believed that it marked the beginning of the era of machine supremacy in the realm of board games, but they were wrong… 
Perhaps you are familiar with logic puzzles involving hats. No? For example, imagine there are 10 prisoners and 10 hats. Each prisoner is assigned a random hat, either red or blue, but the number of each color hat is not known to the prisoners... 
No matter what your level is, there are several principles you should follow when practicing life and death problems.
Excerpt from the book: Korean Baduk Classic Life and Death Drills. 
I know a lot of readers have been waiting to find out who won the Go books in our recent competitions.
Here are the results... Augmented reality for Go. Think of all the interesting things you could do with this technology... Nolan Bushnell (founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese's) gave an interview in which he described his favorite game. He does not describe any game his company made or one following, but one that originated 3000 years ago in China. 
This game is from the final of the 18th Agon Cup. It’s between Iyama Yuta (9p) and Yamashita Keigo (9p).
