Evolution of a Go program

About the development of Moyo Go Studio, software to (help) play the Oriental game of Go. Go is a two-player zero-sum game of perfect information. It is considered much harder than Chess. Currently, in spite of enormous effort expended, no computer program plays it above the level of a beginner.

Cool variation lists

Someone said I should stop bickering on rec.games.go and instead work, and that's what I've been doing :)

The Fuseki- and pattern modules have gotten a "variations list", which shows the statistics of the Fuseki continuations resp. possible "pattern moves".

Moyo Go starts to become a real "Go Information System", because it doesn't just show you boring statistics, it also shows the names of the patterns and the Fuseki! And you can add new ones. And look them up on Sensei's Library.
