[Computer-go] computer Go as a social & educational tool?

Hi David,
believe it or not. About ten years ago, I used
ManyFaces together with a beamer to present a
"running" autoplay game (MF vs MF) on a wall,
in a crowded hall (information day at our university).
It attracted lots of watchers - and we were able to
start discussions with go-newbies and explain them
the go rules.  (Even in those days ManyFaces had already
some nice features - like "Territory"-visualisation by
white and black spots.)

Ingo.
