I would like to express my appreciation to Bill Kanawyer for submitting his problems to the net - they were a welcome diversion. I hope more problems can be submitted in the future. Solving Go problems seems to be the only practical way of acquiring more skill as there is a definite shortage of players here. Note that Go by correspondence (over the net) is infeasible since there is a large number of moves made in a single game with a large associated probability of messages being lost - and an even larger associated time of delay (each move may take two or more days to travel). If you don't believe the arguement witness the problems had by chess coresspondents over the net for their games of roughly 30 - 40 moves and imagine the problems for Go (with the number of moves reaching well over 100 on a 19 X 19 board).
