Floating Bridge Go Fist

One floating (Singaporean) bridge multi-player game done, after I got bored waiting for my last paper. Beware of me when I'm bored.


Mangamangamanga

Got some manga to help me pass the long hours of waiting to start studying microeconomics, and finished two series - Fist of the North Star and Hikaru No Go. I got reminded of FOTNS from an article in the news about Raoh's funeral, though he was gone in the manga for a long time now. As befitting a classic, the manga was quite touching at some points, though moderately violent.

As for Hikaru No Go, there wasn't exactly a lot of Go explained in it, which was slightly disappointing. Go's mystique stems partly from the fact that computers can't play it much better than rank beginners, whilst other games like chess and checkers have been more or less conquered. It does appear so - I downloaded GNU Go, supposedly one of the stronger programs out there, and soundly kicked its ass (though with a nine-stone advantage). Future research project?
