-The game of Go.
+This plays a competent beginner's game of Go (the development line has
+achieved a rating of 17 kyu on the No Name Go Server, nngs.cosmic.org 9696),
+and operates both in plain ASCII and using the Go Modem Protocol.
-Currently, this program only understands basic Go rules and skills.
-It counts the number of liberty for each board piece. Computer move is
-generated by choosing among several possible moves to attack the opponent,
-defense own pieces and match playing patterns. If no good move is found
-then random move will be generated. It doesn't have the concept of eye
-although it will try to form one.
+For a nice graphical interface, cgoban's Go Modem feature can operate as a
+front-end for gnugo (cgoban is available as a port/package).
