I did some research on "the capturing game" a.k.a. "atari go" a.k.a.
"ponnuki go". I was able to solve the game up to board 5x5 (this takes a
few minutes). On larger boards my program can play, but I can easily
beat the 9x9 version. I don't have a user interface, so I can tell you
how to make the program but you have to make it user friendly.

Are you familiar with OpenGo? It provides a user interface, and many other tools, and allows programmer to concentrate on building AI players. More info, along with the source, can be found here:

I would be very interested in learning more about the AI algorithms your program uses. Perhaps between us we could create an OpenGo player using your algorithms? Please tell me where I can get more information!
