Very tangential meme.

MIT, 1965

"What is this?"

"The world’s first superhuman Go program, written in Maclisp! I call it AlphaGo. It just beat Go Seigen in a ten-game match."

"Just scroll through the opening brackets and have a look at the code, then we’ll publish. This is really going to shake up the Go world – and establish Lisp as a serious programming language once and for all!"

Hmmm…

If you hadn’t specifically called it a meme, I’d have moved it to Go Jokes as a routine kind of “tidying/admin” thing :open_mouth:

Lol, no worries. I’m a bit of an awkward foreigner in this thread but I do my best ^^

Book Review

Hi guys, I just bought a new book from Slate & Shell and I figured I’d review it here. It’s called Checkmate! Essential Lessons in the Game of Go, by Daijoubu Nekomimi.

I’ll start with some excerpts:

image

Counting liberties: Kyu players often fail to properly realise the result of semeai and fighting positions. Always check for the fifth liberty!

image

Running fights: Don’t be afraid to run off the edge of the board – your neighbour may have room.

image

Geography of the goban: The nine dots on the Go board indicate the horsey points. Don’t place stones behind them, they will get scared.

image

Tesuji for fighting: Make sure to regularly double back on your tracks – this will keep the opponent off the scent!

image

Advanced techniques: The high dan player always seeks the most efficient method of capture; this diagram shows the whole board being surrounded by first-line stones.

I think I would still first remove the gas pump handle, instead of just ripping it off by driving away.
