All mathematicians and non-mathematicians out there, get your copy of "Uncle Petros and the Goldbach conjecture" ! I received it at Christmas Eve, returned home at 3 AM, and finished the book at 5 AM (no it is not very "atsui"). It is a novel, and a wonderful one. --Dieter

HolIgor: 5d* are discussing the thickness on the r.g.g. But in my opinion they ask a wrong question. They should concentrate on the natural questions like how much of that thickness you can allow to your oppenent and how to make it all ineffective. That was just a coffee break rant.


december 2, 2001:
Sorry, I don't even know whether this is the proper place to ask such a question, but: Can anybody email me some graphic files (tiff, jpeg, etc.) with the kanji for "go", and also Chinese ideograms for "wei qi", and Korean for "baduk". Or suggest where I can find them... thx a lot!

--AvatarDJFlux

If you are referring to the Go terms, then the Chinese version can be found from Chinese Go Terms.

Thx unkx80, but I need three separate graphic files for each of the three ideograms, and possibly of some quality: I have to design a flyer for the Roma Go Club...

--AvatarDJFlux

I don't have very nice looking Chinese fonts. Try the one on the Jago webpage.

A heartful of thanks to unkx80 and all the others who emailed me with files and suggestions! I will answer them all! I'm not good at graphics so I don't know if there's anybody interested in seeing (and of course using) my flyer when it will be finished (if you'd like to use it, just change the name of the club...). It will be a very simple one, to advertise the club around the city.

Suggestion: Would anyone be interested in adding a short stories section for writer/go player contributers? Just an idea. I didn't want to put it up until someone actually had a story.

Everybody have a look at [ext] Pieter Mioch's new column

--Dieter

Look at a funny end game move of parkjr --HolIgor

There is a rumor that [ext] http://www.goproblems.com added an interesting feature: time-trial for different levels of players. This could be a useful excercise and level tester. I know that somebody tried to test himself for 6d level and lost all 4 lives on the first problem. -- HolIgor

:The rumor is true. You might start at a lower level and work your way up. I usually start at 30k because I'm a beginner. --[BigMetalGuy]]

I thought that groups on the board had only one life? :o) Seems to be an interesting position, I assume it had 8 eyes, but it got cut into 4 parts and then he filled in one eye each? :o) --Arno

Ha ha ha... It's not "life" as in whether a group is living or not, but more in the sense of the "life" when you play computer games, i.e. the number of attempts that's allowed. :-) --unkx80


I made some new entries chain, strict connection and path, vaguely resembling sarting definitions for algoritms in GoPrograms. As this is a potential hot topic, please improve on them. --Dieter


Odd. Here we have this entire wiki devoted to Go, but apparently noone ever cared to define what Go actually is. Sure, there's lot's of stuff about rules and such, but no page for Go. Even Wei'qi and Baduk only mention that they are other names for Go :o)

Dieter: You're right. Perhaps we should copy all content of this Wiki into one page Go. WHAT ?!?!?! There is no page called Wiki ?!?!?!

There is now, but it needs some TLC. --RussellKhan


Matt Noonan: Playing four games of go at the coffeehouse last night, a girl recognized it from A Beautiful Mind and asked to learn how to play. Later, another guy was intrigued by the way we counted the game. Hopeful for the future of American go.. :)


TimBrent May I mail some of the stronger player >UGF files of my games so I can have them analysed? I want to see where the losing move was in my games,so I can be more than a weak 22K on IGS.

Have a look at the GoTeachingLadder. However, we only accept SGF files. --Arno
