IGO
(pronounced `eego')
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 now
far and away the most popular board game in the far east. Today
Go is rapidly gaining enthusiastic players in all western countries.
The rules of play in Go are much easier to learn than in chess. But the
strategic possibilities in Go are far greater than in chess. And Go is
much more fun for beginners because 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. IGO plays against you on a 9-line board (ideal
for beginners). User chooses from four progressively more difficult
opponent strength levels. 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.
ALL THIS IN SUPERB COLOR GRAPHICS!
