  • Universi in Bianco E Nero
    El go1 Hoy, nueve de setiembre de 1978, tuve en la palma de la mano un pequeño disco de los trescientos sesenta y uno que se requieren para el juego astrológico del go, ese otro ajedrez del Oriente. Es más antiguo que la más antigua escritura y el tablero es un mapa del universo. Sus variaciones negras y blancas agotarán el tiempo. En él pueden perderse los hombres como en el amor y en el día. Hoy nueve de setiembre de 1978, yo, que soy ignorante de tantas cosas, sé que ignoro una más, y agradezco a mis númenes esta revelación de un laberinto que nunca será mío.

  • Encyclopedia of Life & Death
    Cho Chikun’s Encyclopedia of Life & Death Part 3 — Advanced Motto “It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.” — Sun Tzu: The Art of War Preface This is a collection of almost three thousand problems from Encyclo- pedia of Life and Death by Cho Chikun. The problems come without solutions for two reasons: first, one can learn more by reading out all the paths and solving the problems oneself; second, the solutions are copyrighted. All the problems are black to move. In the third part, you can find about eight hundred problems aimed at advanced players. A dan player should find the solution in a few minutes and will need about 100 hours to solve the whole book. I wish you enjoyment and improvement in the wonderful game of go, weiqi, baduk, or whatever you like to call it. Vít ‘tasuki’ Brunner November 2004 Anniversary edition It’s been 13 and a half years. This booklet has been downloaded over twenty thousand times. I never imagined the reach it would have. The anniversary edition comes with a better layout and wording.

  • Learning to Play the Game of Go
    Learning to Play the Game of Go James Foulds October 17, 2006 Abstract The problem of creating a successful artificial intelligence game playing program for the game of Go represents an important milestone in the history of computer science, and provides an interesting domain for the development of both new and existing problem-solving methods. In particular, the problem of Go can be used as a benchmark for machine learning techniques. Most commercial Go playing programs use rule-based expert systems, re- lying heavily on manually entered domain knowledge. Due to the complexity of strategy possible in the game, these programs can only play at an amateur level of skill. A more recent approach is to apply machine learning to the prob- lem. Machine learning-based Go playing systems are currently weaker than the rule-based programs, but this is still an active area of research. This project compares the performance of an extensive set of supervised machine learning algorithms in the context of learning from a set of features generated from the common fate graph – a graph representation of a Go playing board. The method is applied to a collection of life-and-death problems and to 9 × 9 games, using a variety of learning algorithms. A comparative study is performed to determine the effectiveness of each learning algorithm in this context.

  • Modern Master Games Volume One the Dawn of Tournament Go
    Modern Master Games Volume One The games presented in Modern Master Games, Volume One were played in turbulent The Dawn of times. When the first Honinbo tournament was Tournament Go established, the war had not yet seriously affected the Japanese go world or the daily life of the average Japanese. But by the time of the third Honinbo tournament, Japanese society Rob van Zeijst was in chaos; the atomic bomb was dropped and just 10 kilometers from where the second game Richard Bozulich of the title match was being played. After the war, life was slowly returning to With historical notes by normal. By the 1950s, the go world was again John Power abuzz. Rivalries were flourishing, and newspapers were establishing new tournaments with abundant prize money. As the post-war go world was reorganizing itself, the matches played were of much consequence — it became more than just winning a title. The results were to determine the organizations that governed the game in Japan until today. The pressures on the players were intense, and it exposed their psychological strengths as well as fragilities. Takagawa’s games in this book show how dangerous it is to underestimate an opponent. It was almost unbelievable to some that the mild-mannered Takagawa, whose quiet and laid-back style, never attacking too strongly, and lacking the brilliance of a player like Sakata, could hold the Honinbo title against all comers for nearly 10 years. Sakata’s games are good illustrations of the slashing style which earned him the moniker Razor-Sharp Sakata. We also see examples of the depth of his analysis in which he makes an unorthodox peep (dubbed the tesuji of the century) against Fujisawa Shuko that entails another tesuji 15 moves later whose consequences also have to be analyzed.

  • Cognitive Reflection and Theory of Mind of Go Players Marc Oliver Rieger1and Mei Wang2
    RESEARCH ARTICLE ADVANCES IN COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY Cognitive Reflection and Theory of Mind of Go Players Marc Oliver Rieger1and Mei Wang2 1 University of Trier 2 WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management ABSTRACT Go is a classical Chinese mind game and a highly popular intellectual pursuit in East Asia. In a survey KEYWORDS at two Go tournaments (one of them the largest in Europe), we measured cognitive reflection and cognitive reflection test decision in strategic games (using the classical “beauty contest” game) (N = 327). We found that Go theory of mind players in our survey had outstanding average cognitive reflection test (CRT) scores: 2.51 among all patience participants and 2.80 among players of high master level (dan). This value easily outperforms previ- board games ous measurements, for example, of undergraduates at top universities. The CRT score was closely Go related to the playing strength, but not to the frequency of playing. On the other hand, frequent weiqi players tended to have higher theory of mind, regardless of their playing strengths. However, self- baduk reported patience was not statistically significantly correlated with Go strength or playing frequency. chess INTRODUCTION Human behavior is influenced by cognitive ability. Traditionally, these playing strategic games that require adopting the other person’s point abilities have been summarized in one dimension, intelligence, but of view, for example, the famous “beauty contest game or “Keynesian subsequent research focused on finding more and more facets of intel- beauty contest” (Nagel, 1995).1 The name of this game is inspired by ligence that are important for specific tasks.
