computer-go: Announcement: July 23, MSRI Berkeley, Jiang-Rui demonstration ofenvironmental Go
Prof. Berlekamp <berlek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> has just announced that 9 dan
professional players Jiang Zhujiu and Rui Naiwei will come to Berkeley on
July 23 to play a game demonstrating "environmental Go". This variation of
Go, invented by Berlekamp, adds a large number of simple endgame plays of
different sizes to the normal Go board. The game will be played on the day
before the start of a workshop on combinatorial game theory. This theory is
useful for precisely determining the value of moves, and should therefore
be of interest to computer Go programmers.
For information on the workshop and on combinatorial game theory, see
