Bruce Wilcox
    Keywords: People

Bruce Wilcox is a Go theorist and 6-dan who has written a number of go-playing programs, as well as an excellent book, EzGo.

Some of Wilcox's outlook was enumerated at [ext] http://members.cox.net/~2wilcox/Go/go.htm (Taxonomy), but the link doesn't work any more. Anyone got a correct link?

TakeNGive: I've been reading EZ Go with great interest, so I looked for more info on the web. I did a pretty thorough Google search 2002-05-23 (at least, I think I was thorough), and found nothing recent on Bruce, though it seems his co-author and (former?) wife has been doing much with VRML and some kind of Hawaiian ceramic jewelry.

minismurf: I am afraid not so many agree that this book is excellent. Particularly, it is very chatty, and does not conform to general go terminology.

A trial of one of his go programs can be downloaded from [ext] http://www.trygames.com/game.php?aff=trygames&vid=8101c3769d79fd711be516a72b50f2c7&linksh=&time_entered= . Sad to say, the level of play is not very high.

Fhayashi: Looking at the benefactor's list and past tournament results at the MGA, Bruce Wilcox seemed to have been active in the Boston-area go scene back in the 80's, but he seems to have disappeared since then. I wonder if he ever frequents any of the servers?

Tristan: Perhaps he is tartrate? :-)
