Abstract
Go is an ancient game of strategy that is purported to be over 4,000 years old. My older brother Ron taught me to play Go when I was about eight years old. The rules of Go are simple, but it is very difficult to play the game well. As an indication of how difficult it is to write a Go program, a Taiwanese businessman, Mr. Ing, has offered (seriously!) a cash prize of about one million dollars to the first programmer who can write a Go playing program that can win a match against a Taiwanese professional Go player.
