Being a strong player has many obvious advantages, which other people
have listed. My concern is that as I get more proficient at a skill
like go, the more basic aspects of that skill move from my conscious
mind to a more instinctive level, and I forget the reasons for them.
In some ways the idea
I should get a rating on KGS just to get a rough idea of how weak I am.
I know that when I started I could not tell if a group was dead in even
simple cases. I thought my own program was blundering many times when
the moves were actually good.
Even though I haven't played a game (outside of my

It seems to be the case that you don't need to be a great player to
write a great program but it certainly doesn't hurt. I feel that it
holds me back since I learned the rules just so that I could write a
program.
I believe it's this way with other games too. Over the decades, some of

I don't know how well other engine authors are in OTB gameplay, but
personally I play the game a lot and trying to learn it to the best of

Was reading a page about Go and came across this term. Anyone know
