Do You Want to Play Go on Your Mac?

I’ve got an article on Macworld today about playing go on a Mac. I discuss software and Internet servers where people can play go, and also line to a site with tons of information about the game. I also review two apps for the iPhone and iPod touch: one for practicing, and the other for playing on the IGS go server.

If you didn’t already know it, I play go. Here’s a picture of me and Takemiya Masaki, my go hero, taken in 1999:

I was very happy to have been able to meet him during the opening game of an important go title match: the 23rd Kisei tournament held its first game in Paris in 1999, between Cho Chikun and Kobayashi Koichi. I got to meet and get a photo with Takemiya Masaki during the first day of the two-day game, and after the game ended, on the second day, when leaving the venue, Cho Chikun got into the elevator with me to leave the building. I was not able to get a photo with him, alas.
