Does anyone else play this game? It's genius :w00t:

''board game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_game) for two players. It is known as Weiqi in Chinese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_language) (Traditional (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Chinese): 圍棋; Simplified (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Chinese): 围棋), Igo or Go in Japanese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language) (Kanji (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji): 囲碁 or 碁), and Baduk (Hangul (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul): 바둑) in Korean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_language). Go originated in ancient China (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China), centuries before its earliest known references in 5th century BC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_century_BC) writing. It is mostly popular in East Asia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asia), but has nowadays gained some popularity in the rest of the world as well. Go is noted for being rich in strategic complexity despite its simple rules.''

It is a great game. In Japan I believe being good at it can help you get in to uni....Also the possibilities are infinite so computers are rubbish at it. If anyone fancies a game any time, I'd be happy to....http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/6695/ccldr5.gif (http://imageshack.us)
