I learned to play Go in 1984 when my thesis advisor took me to the Go club in Zurich, Switzerland. I immediately started programming it. After a semester project, a diploma thesis, and a Ph.D. thesis, the result was the Smart Go Board for the Macintosh. I took a break from Go programming to work on PowerPoint (1991-99), then returned to work full-time on computer Go. Further details at The first version of SmartGo for Windows was released April 2002, in two flavors: SmartGo:Board is an SGF editor; SmartGo:Player adds computer play and tactical analysis. My current AGA rating is about 3 dan. Arno: it should be noted that Anders is the original creator of the SGF standard used for recording go games.
