Maybe I will, but 17x17 is quite like 19x19, While 9x9 is completely different game. I do not like to play nor does feel like the same. It is more of a teaching method for newcomers. Skill obtained on 9x9 are transferred to larger board but they are still just an small subset of skills needed on full sized board. -- Petri Pitkänen e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
