Other "publications"

I have also conducted a questionnaire study with go players relating to their ability to predict moves in professionaly games at the European Go Congress 2007. The questionnaire, the corresponding professional games and some summary over the results can be found from here.

Boardgame Designs

I've been designing some boardgames during recent years. The designs I'm comfortable with can be found from here.

Miscellaneous

A game I made when I was in high school... it works on Win32 platforms.It has also AI, so feel free to beat this classical get-five-in-a-row game and feel good about yourself ;)
