Playing the Asian Board Game "Go" on a Mac

· by · News

The new experience of playing Go on a Mac was described in a Wired Blog posted Friday. The author told of his a newfound humility as he learned the complex Asian game and later discovered the vast resources available to the Go player.

The story pointed to Goban, a Mac OS X native Go client ported from a GNU program. The second is KGoban, a Java client for the Keseido Go Server.

It is said by many that Go is more complex and strategic than Chess.
