My
"Favourites"/ "Bookmarks"/ "Hotlist"
have links to everything that interests me.
It is updated occasionaly.
The broad areas of interest are outlined below.
Go
I am particularly interested in any/all
material related to the
oriental board game Go
– Japanese: 囲碁 (Igo),
Chinese: 围棋/圍棋(WéiQí [Wei-Ch'i]), Korean: 바둑 (Baduk/Paduk).
There is much further information about Go, not only in
my
Go/Baduk/WeiQi Bookmarks/Favourites
(many hundreds of links),
but also in
Harry Fearnley's Main Go page (not maintained ...),
where you can find a few things not linked to elsewhere.
The Go topics that I specialize in are:
-
An overview of shared life (seki) in Go, which links to my other work on seki
(Korean: bik, Chinese: shuang huo) ...
-
Seki: Hanezeki -- shared life and (generalized) hanezeki (Korean: jeochim bik)
-
Seki: Nakade -- shared life and (generalized) nakade (Korean: chijung, Chinese: dianyan)
-
Gurvich and Gol'berg's 1980 paper on (fully-connected) seki
- Shimada's work --
Igo no Suri -- some formal/mathematical reflections -- 1958 edition
-
Bestiary -- brain hurts!
-
Bestiary: Molasses Ko, etc
-
Bestiary: Rule challenging
-
Multistage Kos -- Zippers, etc -- some very improbable ko (Korean: pae, Chinese: jie)
-
A little problem with many big kos, and its
interactive version
- The Most Difficult Problem Ever – a beautiful
problem from the Hatsuyoron (1713), requiring the use of
hanezeki –
see Thomas Redecker's work on
Hatsuyoron, Problem 120,
for which I have provided an
interactive version!
Sensei's Library has links to
other material on this problem.

I also have various recreational interests in Mathematics -- particularly in:
- Wavelets, Fourier Transforms etc -- especially discrete versions.
- Tessellations, or Tilings.
- Conway's game "Life", as well as other Cellular Automata, and Artificial Life stuff.
