Evolution of a Go program

About the development of Moyo Go Studio, software to (help) play the Oriental game of Go. Go is a two-player zero-sum game of perfect information. It is considered much harder than Chess. Currently, in spite of enormous effort expended, no computer program plays it above the level of a beginner.

The Breakfast Quiz

Alexandre Dinerchtein's Go newsletter "GoAma" rewards a copy of Moyo Go Studio to the winner of their quiz.

AGA's boring, biased rag is getting marginalized by "breakfast's" fresh initiative. GoAma already has about half the readership of AGA's propaganda tool, and GoAma is poised to become the newletter to read if you want to be up-to-date with what happens in the realm of tournaments, remarkable games and who's who in the world of Go. Of course, this is just the start - I'm sure Sasha will have no problems turning this service into the must-read Go magazine covering everything under the sun (as long as it's about Go). I recognize a winner when I see one.
