Nov 25, 2017 at 14:12 comment added RetroQuestion2017 @Chenmunka It's interesting to hear from a person who has actually written a go program at that time. Do you still have it?

Nov 25, 2017 at 11:27 comment added Chenmunka I wrote one for the BBC Micro in the '80s. It was a bit rubbish as you might expect but I got it to the stage where it would beat me.

Nov 24, 2017 at 20:39 comment added RetroQuestion2017 Thanks. Wikipedia mentions two programs written in the 80s in Forth. None of them is for the C64, but one runs on a computer with only 1K of RAM, so writing one for the C64 should not be impossible. Of course, it is weak, and it only uses a 15x15 board. But, in fact, a 9x9 board would also be okay.
Nov 24, 2017 at 19:07 comment added user722 If there was it would have been terrible. Even in the late 90's the state of the art for Go AIs was very bad, and that was on much more capable computers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Go#Early_decades
