Hi W. Allow me to extend to you a slightly belated welcome to Wikipedia. I see you've done a little behind-the-scenes link fixing. Such work often goes unnoticed, but it is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, browse through the Wikipedia:Help pages or ask a question at the Wikipedia:Village pump -- Stephen Gilbert 12:40 Oct 22, 2002 (UTC)

Edits to Go (game)[edit]

Hi, Thanks for trying to improve the article by removing irrational deductions, assumptions and original research. I noticed you removed the following three sentences from the article:

  • Given the large search tree, knowledge and pattern recognition seem to be more important than look-ahead search
  • (The pattern of brain activity observed ... does not show large differences between Go and chess) probably due to the fact that both games engage pattern recognition mechanisms
  • (the research ... showed greater activation in the right hemisphere among Go players than among chess players) which suggests that Go calls upon intuitive functions more.


I agree with the second statement being removed because "probably because" certainly doesn't sound encyclopedic. However, the references in the article make many references to pattern recognition in Go as opposed to chess. Also, right hemisphere activity is often associated with intuitive functions, which supports the third statement. I'm willing to work together and I think the first statement should definitely change to something like:

  • Given the large search tree, knowledge and pattern recognition seem to be more important than in other strategy games such as Chess.

What do you think? Send me a message or lets discuss it in more detail in the article's talk page.--– sampi (talkcontribemail) 04:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
