Thanks for those pointers! The BW Joseki one will probably be most useful to me at my current stage of development. However, since I was able to find and run my copy of the BW Dojo, I've been alternating between reading that, and duking it out with Igowin. I've probably played 20 games since I posted yesterday (no, I don't have a life..need a couple of eyes...). I'm now solidly up to 9 kyu. Yesterday, for a brief shining moment, IGW ranked me at 6 kyu, which was my signal to be done with Go for the day!
I had forgotten how much I love BWs writing style; clear and elegant, with a delightful tinge of smartass. When I first read through the BW Dojo many years ago, I was handicapped by the fact that I already knew, in a crude sense, how to play Go. The first time, it was more scanning than reading, looking for "tips and techniques". Now, I'm wise enough to know the depth of my ignorance, and I'm moving slowly but steadily through the BW Dojo, and when I'm done, I'll be a much better player than I am now.
Now, what I need is a Go playing and teaching program combined, one that gently, and regularly but not incessantly, points out during a game that I'm playing with it, that I just made a dumb move, it will tell me why, and give me the chance to take it back, and try again.
Is there such a program?
Of course, I've been told that humans can do that...
