Yes, yes!! Don't zap net.games.go. That's how I found out about Bruce Wilcox and his work on go on a PC. Some real go traffic: Where in central New Jersey (Red Bank area; I work at AT&T-IS in Neptune) can I find a store that sells real go boards? Not one of those ugly Avalon Hill or whatever type of boards with incongruous dragons printed in the middle of them, but real, wooden (folding or non-folding) full-sized boards for standard-sized stones. I am turning on a bunch of people to go here in Neptune and need some more boards, and stones too. None of the games shops or Oriental food or import stores I've called seem to carry them. And I rarely get into NYC, where it's easy to find them. Any and all help is appreciated.

I don't know where you can get go.stuff in NJ, but when we couldn't find any in Saskatoon, some friends and I solved the problem by calling one of the local Chinese import shops. One of us would call every so often for about 3 weeks, and say something like "I heard that I can buy Go boards from you. Can you tell me the price?" Suddenly, they started to stock them. 3. Have you ever noticed that there are no really good Go players who are women. It seems that they can do quite well in the opening game where the moves are more intuitive or patern oriented, but fall apart when they get to the middle and end games. When the play is more complex, requiring detailed analysis of moves or when you have to weigh the impact of larger moves in the middle game, they seem to fall apart. Is this maybe some sort of proof of the bioLOGICAL difference between sexes? ****************************************************************************** A MISS IS AS GOOD AS 1.07 * 10e-08 AU's ****************************************************************************** D.Katz
