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.

Japanese Birthday Presents

Look what I got for my birthday :-)

A Japanese customer (his name is Wataru) sent me not one, but TWO Japanse Go software packages!

Not only that, but also the latest CD by Kitaro, "Asian Café".

And a bunch of other stylish stuff, with which I have decorated the room.

These kind of things give me renewed energy. Unbelievable. We're talking about a paying customer who gives me a birthday present costing way over 200 $!

This might have been the best birthday present I ever got.

Thank you, Wataru!
