Rumor has it that programs which play Go on personal computers have recently become available. Because Go is more complex than Chess, for example, and because of a long standing interest in Go, I would be greatly appreciative to anyone who can refer me to either the programs, their sources or literature concerning Go and the programming of a computer to play same. Thanks in advance. - Troy Shinbrot (aka. 900380@umdd.bitnet)

The program is titled simply "Go" and is from Hayden Software (Sargon III, among others). I am not an experianced player, less than 50 games vs human opponents and a little reading, and I had no problem beating it even with a 9 stone handicap.
