dob Úvod DESKOVÁ HRA GO Jen jednu partii řekli, O čem je tento e-book? začala hra. To bylo včera. Vše, co jste nevěděli, že chcete vědět o deskové hře go – a báli jste se zeptat. (stará japonská báseň) Úvod Děkuji Vám, že jste si stáhli tento e-book a věřím, že informace, které v něm naleznete, a především partie go, které si zahrajete, vám přinesou mnoho radosti, zábavy a dobrodružství. Neboť go, to je malé dobrodružství na desce o 361 průsečíku. Hru go považuji za nejlepší deskovou hru, která kdy byla vynalezena, za výjimečný způsob zábavy, poučení i osobního rozvoje. Go mne fascinuje již přes třicet let a příležitostně se je snažím, především mezi mládeží, propagovat a učit. Máte-li rádi hry, ve kterých rozhodují o vítězství pouze vaše osobní schopnosti, čtěte dále. Navzdory tomu, že v některých kategoriích naši hráči patří k evropské špičce, není v našich krajích desková hra go příliš známa. V České republice ji aktivně hraje sotva několik set hráčů; kolik lidí ji hraje doma či o ní alespoň slyšelo, se lze jenom dohadovat. Publikace je proto určena hlavně pro naprosté začátečníky, kteří se s go doposud nikdy nesetkali. Z celé řady důvodů jsem zvolil moderní formu e-booku: výsledný dokument snadno upravím, pokud některé údaje zastarají nebo se změní. Také finanční náklady na tvorbu zde samozřejmě hrají svou roli – nepočítám-li webhosting, je e-book náročný pouze na můj osobní čas. Proto jsem se rozhodl uveřejnit jej zdarma. Současně s e-bookem publikuji několik bonusů, které mají čtenáři vstup do světa go usnadnit: Bonus: Prezentace Zhuštěné informace o go. Během pár minut získáte jasnou představu o tom, co je to go. Bonus: Pravidla Pravidla hry go s výkladem. Bonus: Strategie a taktika Základní strategické postupy v go. Bonus: Vtipy Deset kreslených vtipů s tematikou go. Přeji Vám hodně krásných

    STRATEGY GAME PROGRAMMING PROJECTS Timothy Huang Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Middlebury College Middlebury, VT 05753 (802) 443-2431 [email protected] ABSTRACT In this paper, we show how programming projects centered around the design and construction of computer players for strategy games can play a meaningful role in the educational process, both in and out of the classroom. We describe several game-related projects undertaken by the author in a variety of pedagogical situations, including introductory and advanced courses as well as independent and collaborative research projects. These projects help students to understand and develop advanced data structures and algorithms, to manage and contribute to a large body of existing code, to learn how to work within a team, and to explore areas at the frontier of computer science research. 1. INTRODUCTION In this paper, we show how programming projects centered around the design and construction of computer players for strategy games can play a meaningful role in the educational process, both in and out of the classroom. We describe several game-related projects undertaken by the author in a variety of pedagogical situations, including introductory and advanced courses as well as independent and collaborative research projects. These projects help students to understand and develop advanced data structures and algorithms, to manage and contribute to a large body of existing code, to learn how to work within a team, and to explore areas at the frontier of computer science research. We primarily consider traditional board games such as chess, checkers, backgammon, go, Connect-4, Othello, and Scrabble. Other types of games, including video games and real-time strategy games, might also lead to worthwhile programming projects.

  • Collaborative Go
    Distributed Computing Master Thesis COLLABORATIVE GO Alex Hugger December 13, 2011 Supervisor: S. Welten Prof. Dr. R. Wattenhofer Distributed Computing Group Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory ETH Zürich Abstract The game of Go is getting more and more popular in Europe. Its simple rules and the huge complexity for computer programs make it very interesting for a study about collaborative gaming. The idea of collaborative Go is to play a simple two player game in a setup of teams behaving as one single player instead of one versus one. During this thesis, we implemented a framework allowing to play collaborative Go. The framework is heavily based on the existing Go Text Protocol allowing an inte- gration into already existing Go servers or a competition with existing Go programs. Multiple players are merged through the use of different decision engines into one single player. Two decision engines were implemented based on different interac- tion schemes. One is based on a voting process whereas the other one decides on the final move of a team by applying a Monte Carlo simulation. The final experiments show that collaborative gaming is very interesting and atten- tion attracting for the players. Especially the voting mechanism used in the collab- orative player achieved a high user satisfaction. For an automated decision engine, we found out that it is very important to make the decision process as transparent as possible to all users, as this increases the level of the acceptance even when a bad decision was made. Acknowledgments During the accomplishment of this master thesis, a lot of people supported and guided me to a successful completion of the work.

  • Go Books Detail
    Evanston Go Club Ian Feldman Lending Library A Compendium of Trick Plays Nihon Ki-in In this unique anthology, the reader will find the subject of trick plays in the game of go dealt with in a thorough manner. Practically anything one could wish to know about the subject is examined from multiple perpectives in this remarkable volume. Vital points in common patterns, skillful finesse (tesuji) and ordinary matters of good technique are discussed, as well as the pitfalls that are concealed in seemingly innocuous positions. This is a gem of a handbook that belongs on the bookshelf of every go player. Chapter 1 was written by Ishida Yoshio, former Meijin-Honinbo, who intimates that if "joseki can be said to be the highway, trick plays may be called a back alley. When one masters the alleyways, one is on course to master joseki." Thirty-five model trick plays are presented in this chapter, #204 and exhaustively analyzed in the style of a dictionary. Kageyama Toshiro 7 dan, one of the most popular go writers, examines the subject in Chapter 2 from the standpoint of full board strategy. Chapter 3 is written by Mihori Sho, who collaborated with Sakata Eio to produce Killer of Go. Anecdotes from the history of go, famous sayings by Sun Tzu on the Art of Warfare and contemporary examples of trickery are woven together to produce an entertaining dialogue. The final chapter presents twenty-five problems for the reader to solve, using the knowledge gained in the preceding sections. Do not be surprised to find unexpected booby traps lurking here also.

  • Hebsacker-Verlag, PDF-Katalog 03/2017
    Hebsacker-Verlag, PDF-Katalog 03/2017 Der Hebsacker Verlag ist eine Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts (GbR). 2002 wurde sie von den beiden heutigen Inhabern Steffi Hebsacker und Tobias Berben mit dem Ziel gegründet, die Verbreitung des Go-Spiels in Deutschland zu fördern. Der Anstoss zur Gründung eines Spiele- und Buchverlags ergab sich aus der Tatsache, dass der Ravensburger Spieleverlag nach vielen Jahren die Produktion von preisgünstigen Go-Spielen eingestellt hatte. Ersatz war gefragt, um gerade auch Kindern und Jugendlichen ein bezahlbares Go-Spiel anbieten zu können. Steffi Hebsacker entwarf daher ein Go-Spiel aus Papier und Pappe und setzte dessen Produktion mit Unterstützung des Deutschen Go-Bundes e. V. um. Nahezu zeitgleich realisierte Tobias Berben den Neudruck des Go-Buch-Klassikers "Go. Die Mitte des Himmels" von Micheal Koulen, der beim Kölner DuMont Verlag in drei Auflagen erschienen, aber nicht wieder aufgelegt worden war. Zusammen gründeten dann beide als Rahmen für ihre Projekte den gemeinsamen Verlag. Relativ bald wurde klar, dass für den Verlag eine eigene Website sowie ein Webshop eingerichtet werden muss. Im Frühjahr 2003 folgte der Ausbau des Webshops auf ein umfassendes Angebot an Go-Spielmaterial und -Büchern, 2004 die Umstellung auf die heute verwendete, leistungsfähige Shop-Software. Bis heute folgte eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Projekte und ein kontinuierlicher Ausbau des Webshops, dessen Angobot nun auch andere Denk- und Strategiespiele umfasst. Neben dem Verlag und dem Shop ist die redaktionelle sowie technische Betreuung der Deutschen Go-Zeitung eine unserer zentralen Aktivitäten. Zudem veranstalten wir Seminare und Turniere und sponsern einen Jugendpreis, eine Bundesligamannschaft sowie zwei Websites. Dieser Katalog umfasst alle derzeit bei uns erhältlichen Artikel.

  • What Is the Project Title
    Artificial Intelligence for Go CIS 499 Senior Design Project Final Report Kristen Ying Advisors: Dr. Badler and Dr. Likhachev University of Pennsylvania PROJECT ABSTRACT Go is an ancient board game, originating in China – where it is known as weiqi - before 600 B.C. It spread to Japan (where it is also known as Go), to Korea as baduk, and much more recently to Europe and America [American Go Association]. This game, in which players take turn placing stones on a 19x19 board in an attempt to capture territory, is polynomial-space hard [Reyzin]. Checkers is also polynomial-space hard, and is a solved problem [Schaeffer]. However, the sheer magnitude of options (and for intelligent algorithms, sheer number of possible strategies) makes it infeasible to create even passable novice AI with an exhaustive pure brute-force approach on modern hardware. The board is 19 x19, which, barring illegal moves, allows for about 10171 possible ways to execute a game. This number is about 1081 times greater than the believed number of elementary particles contained in the known universe [Keim]. Previously investigated approaches to creating AI for Go include human-like models such as pattern recognizers and machine learning [Burmeister and Wiles]. There are a number of challenges to these approaches, however. Machine learning algorithms can be very sensitive to the data and style of play with which they are trained, and approaches modeling human thought can be very sensitive to the designer‟s perception of how one thinks during a game. Professional Go players seem to have a very intuitive sense of how to play, which is difficult to model.

  • On Competency of Go Players: a Computational Approach
    On Competency of Go Players: A Computational Approach Amr Ahmed Sabry Abdel-Rahman Ghoneim B.Sc. (Computer Science & Information Systems) Helwan University, Cairo - Egypt M.Sc. (Computer Science) Helwan University, Cairo - Egypt A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the School of Engineering & Information Technology the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy March 2012 ii [This Page is Intentionally Left Blank] iii Abstract Abstract Complex situations are very much context dependent, thus agents – whether human or artificial – need to attain an awareness based on their present situation. An essential part of that awareness is the accurate and effective perception and understanding of the set of knowledge, skills, and characteristics that are needed to allow an agent to perform a specific task with high performance, or what we would like to name, Competency Awareness. The development of this awareness is essential for any further development of an agent’s capabilities. This can be assisted by identifying the limitations in the so far developed expertise and consequently engaging in training processes that add the necessary knowledge to overcome those limitations. However, current approaches of competency and situation awareness rely on manual, lengthy, subjective, and intrusive techniques, rendering those approaches as extremely troublesome and ineffective when it comes to developing computerized agents within complex scenarios. Within the context of computer Go, which is currently a grand challenge to Artificial Intelligence, these issues have led to substantial bottlenecks that need to be addressed in order to achieve further improvements.
