Big news (for nerds) from the computing world, as the 5x5 Go board has been solved. Normal go games are played on a 15x15 board; the smallest board anyone actually plays on is 9x9. (My $90 desktop Go program won't even let me play on a 5x5; the smallest it allows is 7x7.) It's an amazingly complex game, you see. For this and many other reasons, Go is the greatest game ever.

You should learn to play.
