Abstract

The Game of Go. From ancient Asia to modern Computers.


This is a short presentation of the Asian game of Go, for people who know nothing about Asia, Go or... computers :-)

I will explain the (very simple) rules, say few words on strategy and tactics,
give some historical facts, and present a $1 000 000 algorithmic challenge.

Some game boards will be available for people wanting to play.

NB: I will have with me a bottle of Brunello Di Montalcino,
(a very bad wine that I brought back from my conference in Italy)
to help you to play some funny moves. :-)
