Nice idea. But honestly, it only shows gradient of stones not terroitory.  No? 

This is the board I got when fuego finally resigned: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/3771/peepocom20110126.png.  This is not very helpful, even counter productive.

But as a proof of concept, how to use websockets and doing board visualisation via SVG, this is great!

Thinking further, this might even be a way to reach a wider audience for Go? If one gets a good visualization of territory and the difference of a pro game in real time, it might be as easy to follow as a football match :-).

David
