I suggest that all those interested in go should join the
American Go Association, which sponsors tournaments and
publishes the American Go Journal.  The cost is $15/year;
write American Go Association, P.O. Box 397, Old Chelsea
Station, New York 10113.

Over the past few years there have been articles in AGJ, I
think by Terry Benson, about both large-scale and small-scale
strategy from the point of view of trying to quantify things
for writing a program to play go.  I don't think much progress
has been made in actually contructing programs; I've heard of
programs which operate at very low levels, <15-20 kyu, but
don't recall seeing anything specific in AGJ.

In response to a query: yes, the $15 annual dues includes
a subscription to the American Go Journal.  Write AGA, 
P.O. Box 397, Old Chelsea Station, New York 10113.
