Corpus Christi Summer School, 2013

This page will eventually contain information of relevance to the presentations on the oriental board game Go – Japanese: 囲碁 (いご / Igo), Chinese: 围棋/圍棋(WéiQí [Wei-Ch'i]), Korean: 바둑 (Baduk/Paduk), that were given in July 2013 by Harry Fearnley at the Summer School at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.

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.
• Go in Britain
• Computers and Go
• TsumeGo -- Life and death problems
• Rulesets; Combinatorial Games Theory; Mathematics and Go
• Playing Go on the Internet
• Books about Go -- various languages
• A book review of Daniele Pecorini and Tong Shu's book The Game of Wei-Chi.
