Anybody play(ed) this before? Its basically a game with two sides (Black and White), and the main objective is to control as much territory you can grab... I played briefly in 3rd grade (Though got good enough to beat probably most people here :P), and recently restarted, but not seriously...

I play it all the time on breaks. There are a lot of good online versions of it, namely at Truantduck's site. However, I haven't met the AI yet that could beat me at it - always makes the classic mistakes.

Frankly, I'd love to meet a human player who could actually beat me at least 50% of the time.

Go, Reversi, Othello, the spinoff of Pente.. I suck at it, and always have. :P

Looked at the site...

Dude, Go != Othello. There's much more strategy involved... I've played a bit at yahoo games.

Go. What a quality game. I myself am not quite as good as i should be, but it is a very challenging game and great to watch/play.
