IGO v1.0
Announcing an easy and inspiring computer introduction to the world famous
oriental game of strategy, called simply, "GO"
Anyone who enjoys games will immediately get caught up in the excitement
and challenge of this `father of all board games'.
The game of GO originated in Asia some 4000 years ago and is today far and
away the most popular board game in the far east. It was first introduced in
the west early in the 1900's and is now rapidly gaining new enthusiasts here.
The rules of play in GO are just as simple as in checkers but the strategic
possibilites in GO are far greater than in chess. And GO is more fun for
beginners by virtue of its excellent handicaping system.
The `IGO' program offers a go teaching tutorial, a play-against-you feature,
and example games with commentary explaining the whys of each move and counter
move. When playing against you, IGO offers a choice of four different computer
strength levels for its play. Also, IGO will explain the reasons for its moves
and will suggest good moves for you to try. IGO will display an estimate of
`who's ahead' as the game progresses, and the user can experiment at any time
by taking back a move or two so as to try out a different sequence and thus
learn what strategy works best.
For more information about GO including a free copy of `The Way to GO'
booklet, a listing of North American GO clubs, and other valuable GO material,
