I'd like to see net.games.go. I'm really not interested in reading net.games because there aren't any other games besides Go that I want to read about. I'm sure that I would end up missing any Go announcements because it was not worth my while to sort through the other articles in net.games.go. However, there's usually quite a long time between any discussions which start up on this bboard. This makes it rather difficult to justify the overhead which is involved. Rick

I'd like to see net.games.go stay around, also, but it needs to have some *real* messages in it, not just requests that it stay alive. Wasn't there a computer go tournament at some conference earlier this summer? How about a report on that? (Does anyone know what I'm talking about?) _____________________________ Bruce T.

------------- Yes, please keep it. Net.games.go has been a useful source of announcements for me: a Go congress this summer, Bruce Wilcox's Nemesis/PC program, and Eric's Go night. There aren't many discussions in this group; that's fine. Does it really justify a group to have endless trivial bickering over insignificant passing topics as in many other groups?

In 1984, Peter Langston (now at bellcore) initiated a computer go tournament at Usenix. This year, there was another, and Peter's program won. Perhaps this is understandable, since Peter used to be the head of the Computer Games group at Lucasfilm. --- "Extraordinary how potent cheap music is." Noel Coward

I believe you are referring to the "First Annual USENET Computer Go Tournament" which was supposed to be held last summer at the USENET conference in Utah. I was also interested in this, so I posted a request about it; but I never got any response. How about it, gang! Did the tournament take place or what? MIke Campbell

I heard there were several matches between the Chinese and Koren professional go players held in California back in Match or April. Did anyone know the results ? HonWah Chan
