DOWNLOAD EBOOKGames of Go provides commentary on a dozen games of Go, the ancient Oriental board game. Unlike most game reviews, each and every move is commented upon. This is simply because beginning and intermediate Go players simply do not know why most stronger players make their moves. Unlike the majority of Go books, there is only one move per board diagram. The games cover games by players from 20 kyu right up to 8 dan. The book is suitable for beginners and intermediate players up to about 8-10 kyu. The book is A4 in format, with 3 columns per page, and well over 3,000 board diagrams.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Japanese game of Go is of interest both as a problem in mathematical representation and as a game which generates a move tree with an extraordinarily high branching factor (100 to 300 branches per ply). The complexity of Go (and the difficulty of Go for human players) is thought to be considerably greater than that of chess. The constraints of being able to play a complete game and of being able to produce a move with a moderate amount of processing time were placed on the solution. The basic approach used was to find methods for isolating and exploring several sorts of relevant subsections of the global game tree. This process depended heavily on the ability to define and manipulate entitles of Go as recursive functions rather than as patterns of stones. A general machine-accessible theory of Go was developed to provide context for program evaluations. A program for playing Go is now available on the Stanford PDP-10 computer.
