T2 is again the correct move for white. In accordance with proverbial wisdom,
if white plays p2 black will play T2. White will be unable to make a second
eye.
White's problem is to make two eyes without much in the way of shape. Eyes
can be made with the least number of moves in the corner. White's instinct
should be to examine the corner first and other moves second.

ps. These puzzles are wonderful. More puzzles. Please.davee@hpgrla.UUCP (davee) (01/23/85)
When I played it at Tektronix, we would play against a player who knew his rating. The better player would take a guess as to how many stones the unrated player would best play at (a couple of informal games is a good way to tell strength of strategy). (A lot of times the unrated player is not that good and would receive 9 stones on the large board.) Then if the poor player should win 2 out of 3 his handicap would be reduced by one stone. This is a relative system that can be used for a person to determine their absolute rating off of the rated player. (Add the stone handicap to the rated players number.

I too would like to ask for the same information. I learned GO when I lived in Oregon and found it to be an intriguing and addictive game. However, since moving to Colorado 2 years ago, I have not been able to find anyone who plays the game. (I have met one person who has heard of the game but would rather play pente :-(). At least playing a machine would help to retain some skills. Dave Ellis / HEWLETT-PACKARD hpda!hpfcla!hpgrla!davee

The name of the software is "MEMESIS". It plays reasonably well- it plays with 20 Kyu (at best). One good feature is that a player can play it with handicaps. So no matter how good the player is it is still challenging. The author of the software is "Bruce Wilcox". He can be reached at 34 Oak Street Lexington, Ma 02173 This is the address from the documentation of the game. Lu
