Bruce Wilcox is a Go theorist and 5-dan who has written a number of go-playing programs (e.g. Nemesis, RiscIgo, Ego), as well as an excellent book for beginners, EzGo.
Bruce commonly plays the unusual GreatWall fuseki.
Some of Wilcox's outlook was enumerated at 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 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 http://www.trygames.com/... . 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?
Tamsin: Perhaps he is tartrate? :-)
Tom: He seems to have started playing on KGS at the beginning of this year (2004) as bwilcox.
