Life In 19x19

I once played a game I call ‘chocolate Go’ with my child.

The stones were in fact chocolate buttons, which are readily available in dark and light chocolate.

Gnom gnom.

Anyone know if the engines were optimised for the given hardware? It's not uncommon for tuning to be required to get best results.

You can play on http://www.online-go.com against bots and the occasional strong dan player using your browser.

I know this site.
Do we have other possibilities?

Online with no software required other than a browser there are lots of options.

There is a windows and mac package that handle just having a runtime environment for cgoban. There's nothing extra to install.
Can you post the link to this please?
I for one don't know of a Mac KGS package that includes Java <shrug> but here are the official KGS downloads: http://www.gokgs.com ...

I'd like the GoBooks edition if it ever appears. And will gladly buy it again in that format if it does.

I can't really offer much advice here other than one thing. Make sure you do them properly. Where properly means reading out all combinations and filtering out those which don't work. I used to do them by guessing. A lot of apps just show you the solution rather than allowing you to 'prove' your ...
