Re: Strongest 19x19 AI on the iphone app store?

Anyone know? I saw a thread talking about Champion Go (e.g. Crazy Stone). I searched the App Store and found one called Ginseilgo ... perhaps there are stll other apps that are even stronger. I tried playing Smart Go on 19x19 and even as just a 9k it was making moves that were embarrassingly bad ...

Re: Viewing sgf files on iphone?

Greetings,

I have been enjoying the app Go Finder (Kifu) for following along with the latest tournament games. It links directly to Gokifu.com which is kept up to date and also has the option of searching the web for .sgf files.

Although it is very functional it does not allow you to upload game ...

Re: Ceremonial Clothing

Dear John,

Thank you for sharing your insights. There are just a few concluding remarks that I would like to make on this subject. All of your comments are based upon a utilitarian view of various elements of culture which are presented in terms of their function but to which no intrinsic meaning ...

Re: Ceremonial Clothing

Dear Shapenaji,

My exagerated expressions aside, I think that we are largely in agreement with regard to the naturally minimalist aesthetics of the game. It is this quality of an outward simplicity veiling an inward complexity that I find very appealing in Go, as well as the Japanese ambience or ...

Re: Ceremonial Clothing

Desmond, what clothes are you suggesting for a Scottish for exemple? Should he play in a kilt ? Should he dress up as a chinese/japanese/korean? Or only the Japanese/Chinese/Korean could experience the "sacred and cosmic act"?

Greetings Tryss,

By no means did I wish to imply that only the ...

Go Apps for iPhone

Greetings,

There are quite a few apps continuing to be produced for the iPhone. As with most of the contents of the AppStore, some of these are very high quality while others are cheap knockoffs. I would like to know which apps you find useful and which you had a bad experience with.

Thanks,
Desmond

Re: Ceremonial Clothing

Greetings Judicata,

I was admittedly exaggerating quite a bit when I referred to the game as capable of being viewed as idle. In fact, I can hardly conceive of any situation in which Go can be conceived as idle. In contrast to many other pastimes, there is perhaps no situation that can nullify its ...

Re: Ceremonial Clothing

Greetings,
