Occasional Go player (9 kyu BGA).
Programmer, working mainly for the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Co-author of OxCORT and CamCORS.
Author of an unremarkable Go computer based on the new UCT algorithm. You can download it here: http://www.minworks.co.uk/stuff/go-v3.jar . You will also need a GTP controller, such as GoGUI, which is free from
http://gogui.sourceforge.net/ and works on most OSs. The command to use in the "Attach program" dialogue box is "java -cp /path/to/go-v3.jar org.sc3d.apt.go.v3.UCTEngine". The program will play slowly and poorly, and then crash when it manages to look ahead to the end of the game. :-)
Recreational mathematician. I'm developing an interest in Combinatorial Game Theory through my interest in Go computers.
