Go Professional II
Keywords: Software
Go Professional II is a commercial Go playing program sold by Oxford Softworks. It's been superseded (spelling?) by Go Professional III?. Jan: I don't know about version three[1], but version two is (in my not so humble, 15k opinion) quite horrible. 'Computer level 1' plays only slightly worse than 'Computer level 9' and a lot quicker to boot. Only boring moves, no joseki, no problems, no hints with explanations, no nothing :-(. The graphics are nice, though. [1]: I've heard Go Professional version 3 is quite strong, does anyone know more? From my personal experience, Go Professional version 3 is quite weak, i havent had more time to play it, but the first game was lost to me by 2.5 at lvl9 - ZeroKun GoranSiska Isn't Go Professional a commercial version of Reiss's Go++? I used to beta test the program but haven't received any new versions for quite a while.
Jan: According to GoranSiska Well all computer programs seem easy-going to me :). Go4++ looked quite strong for a program at the time and it's stats in the computer tournaments is very good. I haven't played against Go professional though. The Go4++ betas we used to receive were the latest version of the program and I'm not sure which versions made it to the final product.
quaestor I can't speak to strength (I'm not strong enough to judge ;-), but the latest version is Go++ v 4.1, and is being sold directly by it's author, Michael Reiss at This is a copy of the living page "Go Professional II" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
