Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for.
I've made something similar to this for playing at home but had to reformat my computer recently. Would have liked better graphics but very good. Maybe something that detects illegal move and capture stones automatically.
P.S. I think the previous poster was talking about Othello.
Heh yeah, I didn't know how to detect illegal moves and what not when I made this, but that was about 2 years ago. And I'm sure you're right about the previous poster. Anyway, I'm happy to hear that someone found this submission useful. Thank you!

That was bad. You don't even know that 4 stones start in the middle. I'm Japanese and I'v played GO before. 2 white stones and two black stones start in the middle. Although, GO does have different games. The one I'm talking about is the one most played.
What the hell are talking about? I have never heard of this. Check out goproblems.com or senseis.xmp.net/ or, for that matter, yahoo games. I've never heard of a type of Go where there are 4 stones in the middle and if that is so important to you... just add the stones yourself, smart one. I bet the 4000 year old version of Go that I'm talking about has been most played.
Two Problems
First, the instructions weren't enought for me to get into the game. Second, I had to play myself, which meant I couldn't get into the game at all. If you already know how to play, then this is great (if you have a friend with you). If you don't know how, don't try.
Not bad, but...
... even if there is no "perfect" AI, you should have made one anyways. Who has the convience of being around other people while their in front of their computer? Not many...
Good idea, bad execution: 5/10
Please show me how to do that.
so
its pertty good but sucked the game sucked
People have played it all over the world for over 4000 years, so it can't be that bad.
