Topological go
Defn 2: If an element of S, (s say) is such that all elements of s are coloured a single colour then s is said to be coloured that colour (So an element of S is either black, white, empty, or non-coloured - i.e. mixed). Defn 6: A go-connected set of stones G has liberty if there exists a legal placement e, such that if e were coloured with the same colour as the stones of G then {e} union G would be go-connected . Defn 9: A board play consists of choosing a legal placement e, colouring all elements of e one's own colour; then clearing the opponent colour, and then clearing one's own colour. D1 - S is the set of possible stone placements. S is totally general as long as it doesn't contain the empty set, though I'm trying to work out general principles of choosing (X,T,S) to get a reasonable game (e.g. one in which it's actually possible to put a stone down...). The empty set not being in S is essential unless we are going to put 'non-empty' conditions all over the place.Sensei's Library: Topological Go
Topological Go is a variant allowing for many types of boards, including normal boards and Go on a Board Without Lines . It is described (though using some topological terminology) at http://www.nrinstruments.demon.co.uk/topologo/topologo.html . Definitions The board is described as a go-space , which consists of three sets: X contains every location on the board, T contains every open set of locations on the board, and S contains every possible stone. Elements of S must be open sets, and the empty set cannot be in S.
Sensei's Library: Go on a Board Without Lines
Introduction This is an intentionally nameless variant of Go, on a board without any lines. Pieces can be placed anywhere on the board, but otherwise the rules are as close to the rules of Go as I could manage (which I think is fairly close). [ 1 ] Sebastian has now written quite a good page on a somewhat revolutionary implementation of this idea, called Euclidean Go , which has some very interesting qualities. His page has lots of informative and descriptive pictures, and is well worth a look once you understand the basic ideas of playing Go in continuous space. Why no name?Now the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all!
Sensei's Library: Military Proverbs
Some 300 years ago, towards the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) an unknown writer published "Secret Art of War: The 36 Stratagems" writing down for the first time war stratagems which first appeared in the official history of Southern Qi about 1500 years ago. "The 36 Stratagems" is a military classic of ancient China and has its emphasis on deception as military art. Here we discuss how those stratagems might apply to WeiQi . I picked up a book years ago, Lure the Tiger Out of the Mountains by Gao Yuan. Business focus, not WeiQi , but an excellent book with history of each strategy.

Sensei's Library: Humourless go proverbs
[ 1 ] Confused : Charles, in such a situation it also would be very efficient to have your opponent trying to digest this advice. The sentence is really mind-boggling. [ 2 ] unkx80 : These points are none other than 1-2 points taken from three different orientations. IMHO, this one can make it into the actual Go proverbs list, under the life and death section. One thing that comes to my mind is the descent tesuji . [ 3 ] Charles Bill - not original:(.Please click the button below to subscribe my website , No Spam and 100% Free!

Introduction Go proverbs summarize wisdom in easy-to-remember phrases. The proverbs apply often and are regularly used in game comments. Still, one must always evaluate whether or not they apply in a particular situation. Often there's more than one proverb which applies. Sometimes they are even contradictory.
