Many chess programmers have interest in Go programming. The computer-go mailing list is full of them. I have not yet implemented my own go-playing program, but I have the feeling that I will not be able to resist implementing one soon. Go is a great game. I like it much better than chess. Anyone here who does not know it already can easily give it a try with this program: http://www.smart-games.com/igowin.exe It contains a short tutorial explaining the rules. The computer opponent rapidly becomes boring, so you can play online against humans. The most beginner-friendly server is probably KGS: http://kgs.kiseido.com/ The advantage of human opponents is that they'll explain their mistakes to beginners. Beginners should start playing on 9x9 boards. Other fundamental resources are the sensei's library: http://senseis.xmp.net/ and the go teaching ladder, where you can read commented games of all levels, have your games commented, and comment the games of weaker players: http://gtl.xmp.net/ Rémi
