What is Go81?

Go81 is a program which plays the game of Go on small boards (9x9 and 13x13).

Usage

Use the pointer to play. You can choose the board size, handicap, komi and Chinese or Japanese scoring by selecting the options from the menu. You can choose the black and white players (human, level 1 or level 2) by selecting the players from the menu. The program scores the game after it is finished. After the game has ended, you can start a new game by tapping the board anywhere. You can also estimate the score during the game by choosing score from the menu.
The opponent level 1 is fast but does not pass until very late in the game. That is good if you are just learning the basics but can be annoying later on.
The opponent level 2 is fast in the beginning but plays better and slower later.
