Teaching game with Kato Masao

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

I wrote a new article: Teaching game with Kato Masao. It is based on a 3-stones handicap teaching game I received from Kato Masao 9p back in 1990 when I was 3 dan and I represented Romania at the WAGC.

What motivated me to write the article at this point was the godiscussions.com thread “Asking professionals for serious games” – in particular Tommie’s request there.

I hope you enjoy it!

Added handicap to the computer-go interface

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

I added the possibility to play with handicap against the GnuGo computer-Go program, online. This should make games more interesting. Link to computer-Go page here.

Also, I owe an apology: I have introduced a bug that resulted in the board not to be displayed at all for the InternetExplorer users for the last few days. Fixed now. (By the way, why not use Firefox instead of InternetExplorer?)
